Afrikaans newspaper Rapport indicated on Sunday that Specman was set to sign a two-year deal with the men from Bloemfontein.
He played for the Cheetahs in 2017 during a brief stint in the 15-man code, before playing Super Rugby for the Bulls for the past two seasons.
The report added that he is not part of Bulls director of rugby Jake White’s plans and will in all likelihood head to the Cheetahs.
When probed by Sport24, a Cheetahs spokesperson could not confirm Specman’s move as he had not yet signed a contract.
It is however believed that the 31-year-old had reached an agreement with Cheetahs coach Hawies Fourie.
Specman will also be available for the Blitzboks when the World Rugby Sevens Series resumes after the coronavirus-enforced break.
