Former Orlando Pirates captain Lucky Lekgwathi reckons Maritzburg United defender Rushine de Reuck would be a terrific signing for his old club.
De Reuck has been drawing much speculation in the transfer market after impressing in the Absa Premiership this season, and Lekgwathi is convinced the 24-year-old is just what the Buccaneers need.
"We [as Pirates] must sign De Reuck. I have been monitoring him... the boy has a big heart," Lekgwathi told Sowetan Live.
"At his age he is amazing, and at Pirates he can grow to be a superstar.
"He can compliment Happy [Jele] so well. Xulu is a good player as well, but he would only play one or two seasons. We don't know what made him leave Chiefs.
"Signing De Reuck would be a smart investment for the club because the boy is still young."
He added: "I watched De Reuck live in Mbombela against [Kaizer] Chiefs [in the Telkom Knockout semi-finals] last year. It's when I realised we need him. He frustrated Samir Nurkovic, that shows he can do well at Pirates."
