The Buccaneers are said to be preparing a deal that will include Tlolane and another player in order to convince the Blue Hearts to part with their prized keeper.

He also reveled that he wasn’t sure if Pirates were still also going for Rushine De Reuck who was also a target for Bucs who have since landed the more experienced Thulani Hlatshwayo who plays in the same position.
Meanwhile, Pirates are linked with a move for star forward Fagrie Lakay.
