Sources have revealed to KickOff that the Natal Rich Boys are believed to have expressed interest in Pirates striker, Bienvenu Eva Nga.
The Cameroonian has been struggling with game-time at the Buccaneers since joining the club from Chippa United last season. Eva Nga has yet to start a match for the Sea Robbers this season, after only making nine appearances for the Soweto giants since arriving in Johannesburg last season.

According to a source close to Richards Bay, the club has made an attempt to secure the services of the 30-year-old on loan from Pirates until the end of this season.
"Richards Bay is desperately searching for a striker and has identified Eva Nga as their potential signing in January. The player is also keen to move to lack of game time at Pirates," said the source.
Richards Bay is currently sitting in second position from the bottom of the DStv premiership. The Kwazulu Natal-based outfit has only won two games after playing 14 games in the league this season.
