Benni in a meeting with Irvin Khoza

Orlando Pirates have emerged as the overwhelming favourites to land Benni McCarthy's signature, as the forward reveals they have made him feel "more wanted." 

McCarthy was keen to join Ajax Cape Town and take his career full circle, which would have also afforded him the chance to be closer to his mother.

But, despite rumours connecting him to Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, McCarthy tells KickOff.com Pirates are the stand-out option for him.
