Pirates youngster joins French team – report

Young Orlando Pirates striker Lyle Forster has reportedly signed a five-year deal with French giants Monaco.

According to the reports, the 18-year-old Soweto-born player is set to join the Ligue 1 outfit during the January transfer period.

The teenager went on trial at Monaco few months ago and is said to have done enough to earn a contract with the club.

After making 11 appearances and scoring one goal in all competitions for the Pirates senior team last season, Forster is yet to make an appearance for Bucs this season.

He played for Pirates’ MultiChoice Diski Challenge team this past weekend during their 2-1 defeat to Bloemfontein Celtic on Sunday.
