, Pirates were supposed to discuss the future of Cameroonian striker, Bienvenu Eva Nga at the end of the seasonInformation from sources close to the player and the club, indicate that the technical team believes the 30-year-old has still something to offer to the team.
"At first it was seemingly a forgone conclusion that they would let him go at the end of the season but now they had a meeting with him, and all the involved parties, that he should stay until his contract runs out in June 2024," said the Siya source. "There are few factors that they have looked at. One of them being the fact that they haven't yet signed any striker to replace him or any other striker that will leave. Ghanaian Peprah will leave. Who will replace him? So they have decided that Eva Nga should stay for now.
Another source stated that just before the Nedbank Cup final the team had a meeting with the striker and his representative to discuss what they expect from him next season.
