Golden Arrows FC's Isaac Cisse has been granted permission to leave the club, with a move to Orlando Pirates imminent, according to a source close to the team. The Malian midfielder enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in the Betway Premiership, scoring five goals in 26 games. Cisse's future at Golden Arrows FC has been the subject of speculation, with the player linked to several clubs, including Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly and Belgian giants Club Brugge. But it appears the player will remain in the Betway Premiership, with Orlando Pirates set to announce his signing. The Buccaneers have already been active in the transfer market, announcing the arrival of several new players, including Mthetheleli Mthiyane and Sbangani Zulu. Golden Arrows FC's Siyanda Ndlovu has also been linked with a move to the league champions. Cisse's departure will be a significant blow to Golden Arrows FC, who will need to replace the midfielder's creativity and goal-scoring ability. The club will be hoping to announce some new signings of their own soon, as they prepare for the new season. With Cisse's deal reportedly signed and sealed, Golden Arrows FC fans will be waiting to see who will replace the Malian midfielder in the team's starting lineup. The transfer window is set to be an exciting one for Golden Arrows FC, with several players linked to the club, and Cisse's exit is just the beginning.
