Players like Kapinga, who showcased their skills during the COSAFA competition, now have the opportunity to secure a team for the upcoming season. While Pirates have been rumored to be interested in Kapinga, Junior Kanye remains enthusiastic about the prospect of him joining Kaizer Chiefs even though he doesn’t rule out his potential move to Pirates.
This regional competition serves as a platform for talented players to showcase their abilities and attract attention from big teams. Kapinga’s performances in the tournament seem to have caught the eyes of Orlando Pirates and Chiefs scouts.
While Pirates may be linked with Kapinga, Junior Kanye believes that he might face similar challenges to those he experienced at Sundowns due to the abundance of quality players at Pirates. This raises concerns about whether Kapinga would get sufficient playing time and the opportunity to fully display his talents if he joins Pirates. On the other hand, joining a team like Chiefs which has a lot of young players could offer him a more prominent role and the chance to thrive and show his experience.
Ntsako Makhubela struggled at Pirates even though he was very skillful. It is not clear whether a coach like Jose could use Kapinga regularly at Pirates. He failed to play Ndlondlo regular.
Kapinga and the Khama Billiat Factor
Kapinga’s unique skill set would complement the existing talents at Chiefs, potentially creating a formidable attacking force.
Junior Kanye acknowledges that Pirates also require quality players, especially if they are to compete in continental competitions. However, he highlights the fact that Kapinga’s attributes could be better suited to the Chiefs’ playing style and tactical approach.
Soccer analyst Junior Kanye’s wish was to see Kapinga join Kaizer Chiefs. He sees Kapinga as a potential replacement for Billiat. It was also going to be much better if they were playing together.
As the transfer window unfolds, fans eagerly await the official announcement of Kapinga’s new club, hoping to witness his mesmerizing skills on the pitch next season.
