Forward Gabadinho Mhango is surely club-hunting after Moroka Swallows sold their DStv Premiership status to Marumo Gallants. Reports indicate that Gallants will relocate to Bloemfontein and possibly buy Siwelele's brand name.

Mhango is, for now, not among the few Dube Birds’ remnants retained by the new club owners. This prompts questions about the Malawian's next employer. SuperSport.com looks at the potential destination for the 2016 Golden Boot Award winner:

Royal AM

The 32-year-old forward carved out a niche as a fox-in-the-box at Bloemfontein Celtic in the 2013-14 season when he emerged as the top scorer with nine goals. Royal AM coach John Maduka was then Celtic's team manager. It would, therefore, come as no surprise if the countrymen reunited.

SuperSport United

Coach Gavin Hunt got the best out of Mhango, turning him into a PSL champion in the 2016-17 season at BidVest Wits. The Flames star eventually signed for Orlando Pirates and during that time, the Students closed shop. Hunt surely knows how to handle the temperamental Mhango.

Magesi FC

It would be an anti-climax for such a high-profile striker to sign for the DStv Premiership rookies, but surely coach Clinton Larsen would fancy working with his goal-poacher of the 2016 season at Golden Arrows yet again.

Golden Arrows FC

Mhango had a loan spell at Arrows in 2016 when Celtic dumped him after learning that he had signed a pre-contract with Wits. The Malawian made history after scoring the most goals in a single game of his PSL career when Abafana Bes’thende beat Mpumalanga Black Aces 4-2 in 2016.

Chippa United

With midfielder Andile Jali moving to Chippa United, there are chances of Mhango following suit, as the same firm manages the duo.
