AmaZulu FC and Stellenbosch target PSL's top scorer Bradley Grobler
AmaZulu FC are in talks to sign Premier Soccer League (PSL) top scorer Bradley Grobler on a free transfer ahead of the 2026/27 season. Stellenbosch are also in the hunt for the 34-year-old striker, who has netted 32 goals this season while playing for his current club.
The race for Grobler comes as AmaZulu sit fourth in the PSL with 47 points from 30 games, level with Stellenbosch but 22 points behind league leaders Orlando Pirates. Their recent form reads WLDDW, a mixed bag that leaves room for improvement before the new campaign.
Why this move matters for AmaZulu FC
Grobler's arrival would give AmaZulu a proven finisher to replace outgoing strikers. The club has scored 32 goals this season but conceded 28, leaving them with a slim +4 goal difference. A proven poacher like Grobler could tighten their attack and push them closer to the title race.
Stellenbosch's interest complicates AmaZulu's pursuit. Both clubs are chasing the same free agent, and Grobler's decision could hinge on which project he finds more appealing. AmaZulu's fourth-place finish last season earned them a top-four finish, but they need firepower to close the 22-point gap to Pirates.
What we know about Bradley Grobler
Grobler, 34, has been the PSL's most consistent striker this season. His 32 goals make him the league's top scorer, and his experience in front of goal could be vital for AmaZulu's push for silverware. The striker's contract expires this summer, making him available on a free transfer.
AmaZulu's attacking options have thinned with departures, and Grobler's arrival would give them a reliable target man. His ability to convert chances could help them overturn their recent WLDDW form and mount a stronger challenge next season.
What happens next?
AmaZulu's technical staff are expected to finalize their summer plans within the next two weeks. Grobler's agent is in talks with both AmaZulu and Stellenbosch, and a decision could come before the transfer window closes. The club's fourth-place standing in the PSL gives them a strong bargaining chip in negotiations.
League standing: AmaZulu are fourth in the Premier Soccer League with 47 points, 13 wins, 8 draws, and 9 losses from 30 games, with recent form WLDDW. They trail leaders Orlando Pirates by 22 points and have scored 32 goals while conceding 28 this season.
