According to Lorenz Kohler from iDiskiTimes, Stellies’ CEO Rob Benadie mentioned that the deal could happen soon as the transfer deadline approaches. “No, that deal is not done yet, it might be done in the next few hours,” Benadie stated to iDiski Times.

“But it’s not done yet and we’re hoping that he stays with us,” Benadie added.

If he joins the Pirates, De Jong will face competition from Sipho Mbule, Patrick Maswanganyi, and Kabelo Dlamini for the number 10 position.
