Experienced PSL Striker Could Be the Key to SuperSport United’s Revival

• SuperSport United defender Pogiso Sanoka expects the arrival of Samir Nurkovic to help the side find form in the second stage of the season
• The Serbian striker joined SuperSport after leaving PSL rivals TS Galaxy as a free agent but is only available in January 2025 due to work permit issues
• Local football fans praised Nurkovic on social media, saying Kaizer Chiefs should have signed the proven PSL striker

Defender Pogiso Sanoka said Samir Nurkovic's arrival will turn SuperSport United's fortunes around during the latter parts of the PSL campaign.

The Pretoria side is ninth on the PSL log after only two victories in nine matches, while they suffered early exits from the Carling Knockout Cup and MTN8.

Sanoka said Nurkovic would provide much-needed firepower for their attack, although the striker would only be available in January 2025 after the free agent's arrival at the club.
