Chippa chasing Ramagalela

Chippa United are said to be looking to poach Polokwane City striker Rodney Ramagalela (above) as the club feel they lack potency in front of goal. “They are looking at various options but Rama G is the preferred choice,” said a source. Ramagalela has scored 10 goals so far this season. “There are also two strikers from outside the country who might come to be assessed at the end of the season. They have realised that they need a good finisher who is a predator and stays and hustles in the box,” added the source. Another Polokwane player who has attracted some suitors is Walter Musona who is wanted by Maritzburg United.
