Tanzanian giants Young Africans have set sights on securing the services of Ghana international goalkeeper Richard Ofori ahead of the new season.
The Black Stars second deputy captain is leaving Orlando Pirates following the expiration of his contract.
Ofori is expected to find a new club before the commencement of the 2024/25 football season.
According to reports, the former Maritzburg goalkeeper have attracted interest from several clubs including Young Africans.
The Tanzanian outfit are said to be the frontrunners in the pursuit of the experienced Ghanaian shot stopper, having engaged the player’s representative over a move.
Young Africans are reportedly pushing harder to lure the service of the Black Stars shot-stopper to provide competition in the goalkeeping department.
Ofori joined Orlando Pirates from Maritzburg United in 2020. During his stint with the club, the former Wa All Stars goalkeeper managed 58 games, conceding 36 goals and keeping 30 clean sheets.
The Ghanaian goalkeeper lost his number role at the club due to injury setbacks, making just three appearances in the just ended campaign.
He missed out on the Black Stars squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifying games against Mali and Central Africa Republic.
Ofori has capped 28 times for Ghana, and was the safer pairs of hands at the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast, where Ghana bowed out at group stage
