South african giants Orlando Pirates are chasing the signature of Harambee Stars defender Joash Onyango.
According to reports from Tanzania, where Onyango plays for Simba SC, Pirates are willing to splash kshs 100,000 million for the former Gor Mahia defender.
Today, Simba SC Communications Officer Haji Manara claimed that Pirates were ready to sign the centre back.
“Let me reveal a secret, yesterday one of the Orlando Pirates managers called me to ask about the price of Onyango and I quoted one million dollars. He said they were ready to initiate talks,” said Manara.
“Onyango is rising so fast and has already attained a $1 million tag. That’s just how good he already is. He has regularly been chosen as the best centre back in the Champions League,” observed Manara.
Onyango was named in the CAF Champions League team of the week after Match Day Two where Simba SC staged a massive upset by stunning Al Ahly 1-0.
Onyango, who joined Wekundu wa Simbazi from Kenyan champions Gor Mahia, capped off his impressive run by scooping the Emirates Aluminium Simba Fans Player of the Month for March award.
