Orlando Pirates target SuperSport's Ghana midfielder Edwin Gyimah

Orlando Pirates have penciled down SuperSport United ace Edwin Gyimah as a top transfer target.

But Soccer Laduma has reported that there has been no formal approach from the Buccaneers.

Pirates are turning to the former Wa All Stars after failing to land their long-time target Mohammed Awal of Maritzburg United.

“I have heard about the rumour linking Edwin to Orlando Pirates, but I can confirm that I’ve not had any talks with the club with regards to him joining them,” Gyimah’s agent Mike Makaab told the Soccer Laduma.

“In any case, Edwin has a long term-contract with SuperSport and if Pirates want him, then they have to talk to them first. It’s only when the two clubs have agreed, that I will be involved.”

Gyimah made 22 starts and one substitute appearance for Matsatsantsa a Pitori last season.
