Orlando Pirates defender Olisa Ndah has had his say over reports linking him with a move to Europe.
The 25-year-old centre back reportedly peaked the interest of several clubs abroad including Italian outfit Sassulo. While he has committed his immediate future to Buccaneers the Nigerian international has not closed the door on a European move.
"Right now I’m really happy here [at Pirates]," Ndah said.
"But it’s always a dream to play abroad, everyone wants to play overseas [at some point], but I’m not going to focus on that, I’m focused on what I can achieve with Orlando Pirates."
Ndah has been an important figure in the Pirates’ artillery, missing just games in the first half of the season and was instrumental in Pirates' MTN8 Cup-winning campaign, however, recent injuries have kept the defender on the sidelines for a huge chunk of the second round.
According his representative and high-profile agent Mike Makaab, a January move to Europe fell through after the defender sustained an injury.
"He [Ndah] got injured at the same time of the interest from Italy…," Makaab said on social media.

It is understood Pirates would not stand in the way of the defender should a move abroad materialise, and further additions of Nkosinathi Sibisi and Tapelo Xoki in the defensive line at the start of the season suggests that the Sea Robbers are prepared in the event.
Meanwhile, more reports have linked the Buccaneers with a move for TS Galaxy’s Given Msimango at the end of the season.
