Pirates have had a long-standing goalkeeping problem which they looked set to solve when they signed Richard Ofori from Maritzburg United two years ago.
However, the Ghanaian has had injury problems and spends more time on the field seeking medical attention than on the pitch.
A source said the club had redoubled their efforts to find another reliable goalkeeper in the current window.
“(Siyabonga) Mpontshane is good but you can see that he is getting older and he lacks confidence, while Sipho (Chaine) still has some way to go before he can become a regular,” a source said.
“They want a goalkeeper who will come in and take command of the position and bring the confidence that the whole team needs. We all know that goalkeepers don’t do well, so it filters down to the whole team and that has happened here.
“The scouts are now working overtime to try and identify guards who can solve this problem. They have even been given the green light to look beyond our borders for the right person,” added the source.
