Orlando Pirates have emerged as favourites in the race for the signature of Golden Arrows and Bafana Bafana winger Pule Mmodi, according to the Siya crew. Mmodi, 29, is out of contract with Arrows in June and has been linked with both Kaizer Chiefs and Pirates. Sources have now revealed that the Buccaneers are stepping up their efforts to land the attacking midfielder.
“Pirates are the favourites and Arrows are willing to sell because they don’t want to lose the player on a free,” said the source. “Something is going to happen within the next few days and while the boy’s wish has been to play for Chiefs, don’t be surprised if he ends up at Pirates.”

Mmodi has scored four goals so far this season, and while AmaZulu appeared to be the front runners for his signature at some point, Bucs are believed to be in the lead at this point in time. Meanwhile, Arrows have confirmed signing Ntsako Makhubela on loan from Pirates in what sources believe could be another way of sweetening the deal for Mmodi to move the opposite direction.
