Sekhukhune United have completed the signing of Upington City FC midfielder Givemore Khupe, while Golden Arrows is edging closer to securing Keabetswe Rakosa. FARPost understands that Khupe has already signed his contract with Babina Noko.

The 26-year-old defensive midfielder established himself as one of the most dependable and versatile performers in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. He earned a reputation as a player capable of excelling in multiple positions without compromising performance levels. Whether deployed in midfield, at centre-back or right-back, he consistently delivered disciplined displays and provided tactical flexibility to his coaches.

Khupe also proved influential in attack, scoring six goals and providing three assists. His ability to facilitate build-up play from deeper areas and seamlessly adapt to different roles made him a valuable asset.

Meanwhile, Golden Arrows are on the verge of finalising a deal for Rakosa after the clubs reached an agreement. The player is now expected to complete the remaining formalities before putting pen to paper on a contract with Abafana Bes’thende.
Rakosa arrives with a reputation as one of the league’s hardest-working professionals and a player whose versatility could prove crucial for Arrows.

Capable of operating on the right wing, at right-back or in central midfield, Rakosa offers coaches multiple tactical options.
Arrows will be looking to beef up their squad in midfield and attack with a number of exits expected.

Betway Premiership top goal scorer Junior Dion has been linked with a move away from the club. Former African champions Pyramids FC of Egypt are eyeing him as a replacement for Congolese forward Fiston Mayele.

On the other hand, Arrows’ midfielder Isaac Cisse is also tipped for a move away from the club. He is linked with several clubs on the continent and in Europe.
