Orlando Pirates’ promising defender, Thabiso Sesane, has attracted the interest of a French Ligue 1 club, according to a report by Soccer Laduma.
The talented young centre-back has been a standout performer for the Buccaneers, since been introduced to the first team towards the end of the 2023/24 season.
His strong partnership with Olisa Ndah, until the latter’s injury, has been instrumental in solidifying Pirates’ defense. Sesane’s impressive displays have not gone unnoticed by European scouts, with his Bafana Bafana call-ups and CAF Champions League appearances further elevating his profile.
“You remember the club Keagan Dolly used to play for in France? (Montpellier FC). That’s the one interested in Sesane. They have been monitoring him more frequently these days,” said Soccer Laduma’s source.
“They have scouts in Africa and some of them actually work closely in South Africa and that’s how they identified him. That could be a great move for him at this age as he can easily adapt to the new league and culture.
“They are looking for a young but experienced defender and now with Pirates playing in the CAF Champions League it is actually good for Thabiso.
“It’s good because he is gaining the valuable experience that Montpellier are looking for. It will work to his advantage. Also with call-ups to Bafana Bafana, soon he will start playing and things will go well for him.”
As Montpellier looks to strengthen their defensive line with a young and experienced centre-back, Sesane could be a prime target for the French club.
