Sesinyi's return puts clubs on alert

In-demand: Sesinyi

Forward, Thabang Sesinyi has returned home after failing to secure a move to the Middle East. Sesinyi nearly joined an unnamed Qatari club but the move did not materialise. The forward did not make enough CAF Champions League appearances to allow him to play in the Qatari league. Also, the Zebras' low FIFA rankings impeded the proposed move.

Sesinyi played some of his best football in the 2021-2022 season. He finished as the league's top goalscorer with 24 goals from the 30 rounds league. He also walked away with the Players' Player of the Season accolade for his exploits in front of goal. He is highly rated and his failed move to the Middle East has since put local clubs on high alert. Sesinyi left Jwaneng Galaxy upon the expiry of his contract at the end of last season.

The 29-year-old was linked with Gaborone giants, Township Rollers and Gaborone United (GU). Both sides have since made reinforcements to their attacking ranks after conceding they had lost out on their target. The local transfer window period will shut down in early October and Sesinyi has minimal time to explore his options. The forward was also linked with a move back to South Africa. H

e played in the PSL with now-defunct Platinum Stars but a career-threatening knee injury in the 2017-2018 season disrupted his progress. Sesinyi's failed move now leaves three Zebras players in the Arab leagues. Winger, Kabelo Seakanyeng has managed just 62 minutes from two appearances with his new side, Dibba Al-Fujairah. Seakanyeng joined the United Arab Emirates club on loan from Olympique Club de Khouribga (OCK) in Morocco.

He is supposed to spend a full season with the UAE club while his contract with his parent club will end in 2024. Seakanyeng was brilliant in the last season finishing as OCK's leading goal scorer with eight goals in his debut in the Botola Pro League. Tumisang Orebonye has remained with OCK despite interest from within Morocco and the Arab leagues.

He has made one appearance thus far this season from two rounds played and is yet to open his scoring account. Midfielder Gape Mohutsiwa who joined Algerian side, ASO Chlef, has joined the duo in the Arab leagues. He has played and completed 90 minutes in all three league games thus far.
