South African giants Orlando Pirates are said to be interested in Ghanaian goalkeeper Richard Ofori.

Pirates are in the market looking for a goalkeeper to compete with first-choice Brilliant Khuzwayo who has been far from his best this season.

According to South African tabloid Soccer Laduma who quoted an unnamed source, Pirates are ready to swoop for the 25-year-old Ghanaian ahead of next season.

“Orlando Pirates are interested in Richard Ofori from Maritzburg United. With inconsistencies and injuries in their goalkeeping department, the club is considering making an offer for Ofori for next season.” The tabloid stated.

Ofori has been Maritzburg best player so far despite the team having a poor season which has seen them languishing in the relegation zone of the South African topflight.
