Orlando Pirates’ hunt for another top striker continues with the news that they have extended their search to Nigeria for Enyimba’s red hot striker Stephen Worgu.

Worgu has been the man behind Enyimba’s good run in the CAF Champions League and is currently the tournament’s top goal scorer having netted 13 times.

The Nigerian striker was on target this week when Enyimba beat Al Hilal 4-1 during their CAF Champions League fixture yesterday.

Sources close to Orlando Pirates have revealed that club chairman Irvin Khoza has already put in a ‘great’ offer for Worgu and Enyimba have agreed to release him but only after the completion of the current CAF Champions League.

“There were two options, one for Aldave from Sundowns and the other one for Worgu from Enyimba. One of Enyimba’s officials was in the country recently to meet Khoza with regards to signing Worgu and I understand that the striker will only join Pirates after the CAF Champions League,” a source inside the club told KickOff.com.

Enyimba’s Uche Kalu has already poured high praise on Worgu and believes the striker could be voted the best player in the Champions League.

“He’s a very talented player and his speed is completely unbelievable. He’s a great asset to the team right now and I think he will surely win the Best Player Award.

“If he keeps on scoring as much as he’s doing, I think he will set a Champions League goal scoring record.

“He just plays unbelievable football, very quick on the ball and calm in front of goal. That’s what makes him so deadly

Nna Monna I am sori Iam supporting Amakhosi, Kaizer Chiefs,Love and Peace,Khosi 4 Life.Ihave watched this player on number of occations he is good,if he sign maybe Nigeria will cap him and ater a season ot two will be playing in europe,he is a typical nigerian striker big and stong and selfish

I hope so as well,but i think will be signed by european team

Meeeen,that short dude is has a lot of propects,i`ve not been so impressed by a home based player in a while,but i think this one has what it takes, i wish him all the best!!!.

Why should he go to SA?
if he still wants to play in Africa, the Egypt should be his destination!!!

All our players that went to SA usually come back rusty.
Chukwu Ndukwe then of Mamemodi Sundowns, Obinna Nwaneri used to be rock solid when he was at home. dude should go to gateway fc instead
hehehe. SA ko, Botswana ni

WETIN THE GUY DEY FIND 4 SOKOTO, DEY 4 SHOKOTO.

south africa ko, north africa ni

heard the guy is a class act. havent watched him play, but he has about 13 champions league goals.

he'd be better off in a european club than in south-africa. enyimba is better than orlando pirates, why is he goin there?

afterall, taiye taiwo left from lobi to marseille and manucho from petro athletico to manchester united so what stops him from goin directly to europe if he is that talented

gabe, my friend.

No one watches enyimba and they don't have naira . Nwaneri was supposed to join us together with Onyekachi but he chose some north african tean and he is still stuck there while Okwonko makes money in europe. The boy should come here and test himself against well organised teams unless he is afraid to be a flop.

mind you, nwanneri is not stuck, he now plays at FC Sion in switzerland after spending a couple of years in north africa.
no malicious intent but i feel he will be retrogressing if he goes to orlando pirates because i consider and it is a well known fact that enyimba is a better team than the pirates and the nigerian league is a more competitive league than the south african league. yes you guys are very organised and like to assume you have all the money in the world, but you guys lack talent, something that is abundant in the nigerian league, and i doubt he'll be a flop in south africa. he should go to europe where his skills will be polished by a very competent coach and strong competition.

gabe my friend, the Naija league is not better that our league, yes you guys might have, in fact you have better talent than us if we compare national teams but when it comes to league you have remember that we source from different continents hence the competitiveness. look at Brazil and Argentine, they have far better squads than England but their league is far lesser competetive than EPL. I wouldn't say we have all the money in the world but i am dead sho we have it than any other league in Afrika, so don't sweat my friend no offence taken from your Milicious intent.

How do you know if one league is more competitive than the other? by looking at the fifa ranking? or by looking at one good team in that league?
Or the result of a team in African competition?
Dynamos of Zimbabwe is currently doing well in African champs league does it mean their league is better than of Morroco?

Ok the Worgu deal never happened, but the same team have signed another Nigerian called Otorogu,who came to South Africa after his spell in Tunisia,and he think that playing in South Africa willl improve his chances of playing in the national team and also atract topeuropean teams

Can somebody update us on the carrer progress of Worgu?

^^^^
The last i heard of Worgu was that he was playing in Sudan, dunno if he still left for Europe or not.

The last I heard of Worgu was that he was sentenced to some lashes of cane by a Sudaneese sharia court for alchohol related offences

^^^^^Hehehehe, for real?

I bet he ran away

^^
as a sharp Naija guy that once lived in Aba. He cant afford to slack

Which club does he play for now?

^^^ prolly an unknown club in Europe. he should have just stayed with the elephants.

^^^^

Or he should have gone to Tunisia, Egypt or even SA, Otorogu plays in SA now.
