Ghana and Al Qadsia defender Rashid Sumaila is a shock target for South Africa giants Orlando Pirates just two seasons after leaving Mamelodi Sundowns.

Sumaila, 22, has hit the ground running since his arrival in Kuwait helping Al Qadsia to an impressive 3rd place finish last season and reaching the last four of the Asian Federation cup.

he has been linked with a surprise return to South Africa with Orlando Pirates in the last 48 hours.

It remains to been seen how that goes with Sumaila only a few months into a three year deal he signed with Al Qdasia after impressing out on loan last season with Mamelodi Sundown.
