DURBAN – Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane has commented on the speculation linking Orlando Pirates star Thembinkosi Lorch with a potential move to the Egyptian giants.
Mosimane’s side have been linked with a number of attackers in recent times and among those include the likes of Gaston Sirino, Samir Nurkovic, Keegan Dolly and now Lorch.

The rumours are somewhat surprising when considering that Lorch did not exactly have a good season with Pirates last term.
He scored just one goal and contributed four assists for the Sea Robbers as they finished third in the league. While Pirates did qualify for next season’s CAF Confederation Cup, they failed to mount a challenge for the league title which would have been frustrating by their standards.
While South African footballers are not renowned for starring in other African leagues, the trend could be set to change with Mosimane now coaching in Egypt.
