The current season is drawing to a close, and Orlando Pirates are already making waves on the transfer market. The Buccaneers are looking to bolster their squad and are actively working on several potential deals.

According to UnplayableZA, 23-year-old Tshepo Mashilane is set to join from Baroka this summer. The club is also reportedly close to signing another player from the same team—winger Kabelo Kgositile.

It's also known that the Pirates are ready to battle Kaizer Chiefs for Burkina Faso international striker Djibril Ouattara. The 25-year-old forward is currently playing in Rwanda, where he has netted 12 goals in 10 matches.

But above all, Orlando fans are dreaming of the return of club legend Benni McCarthy—this time as head coach. The South African football icon only took charge of the Kenya national team a few months ago. Other possible candidates include Pitso Mosimane and Rulani Mokwena.
