An Orlando Pirates player was dreaded all throughout the world because…

Transfermarkt.com states that in 2016, while Erasmus was playing in France’s Ligue 1, his market value soared. In a 2007 article titled “The 50 most exciting teenagers on the planet,” World Soccer Magazine listed Erasmus as one of the 50 most gifted young players in the world of football. Karim Benzema, Sergio Aguero, Angel di Maria, Gareth Bale, and Alexandre Pato were among the players on the list. Throughout his career, Kermit has played for eleven clubs in five different nations. That is, in a sense, impressive, but it also suggests that he never really settled down and made one club his permanent home.

The Bucs contract with Kermit Erasmus expires in June 2024. The club will make a decision over Soccer-Laduma’s future shortly, according to a source close to the player, but they are leaning toward letting go of the former Feyenoord, Rennes, Lens, Sundowns, and SuperSport great. In his two stints with the Pirates, he has made 117 games overall, with 19 assists and 26 goals. He won a Nedbank Cup and three DStv Premiership titles during his time in South Africa. This may be an inadequate overview of a man whose lengthy career was once discussed in the same breath as future World Cup champion Di Maria.

In September 2022, Erasmus left Sundowns to join the Buccaneers, sparking rumors that he would be moving to Kaizer Chiefs. The seasoned striker returned to South African football in 2019 after spells in France, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Where he ends up in 2023–2024 is anybody’s guess, although it’s unlikely he’ll still be a Buccaneer.
