New-aqcuired Betway Premiership side, Siwele FC enters the race to sign Mamelodi Sundowns star attacker Lorch Thembinkosi.
After a successful loan stint that lasted just over six months, Wydad Athletic Club has been in talks with Sundowns over the possibility of making Lorch’s return to Morocco permanent.
However, the two sides appear to be in a standstill as they are yet to agree a fee that would see the 32-year-old attacker return to Wydad AC.
A scenario that has opened doors for other clubs to exploit given that both Sundowns and Lorch are not looking at the player staying at the club this upcoming season.
An opportunity that newly acquired Siwelele FC are looking to use, as the club is interested in signing the former Orlando Pirates superstar on a season-long loan, should a move to Wydad not materialise.
While Sundowns players are busy preparing for the new season in Rustenburg, North West, under the watchful eye of head coach Miguel Cardoso, Lorch is training alone.
The South African international has acquired the services of an experienced celebrity physical and fitness trainer, Vusi Hlabangwana, to help him sharpen for the upcoming season.
