Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi has shown interest in three Kaizer Chiefs players, saying he’d love to have them in his squad.
While the Glamour Boys have struggled so far this season, one positive has been the rise of Wandile Duba, Mduduzi Shabalala and Mfundo Vilakazi.
Despite their young age, coach Nasreddine Nabi has been able to depend on them to secure vital points in the Betway Premiership this season.
And now, Manqoba Mngqithi has openly expressed his admiration for the trio, claiming he’d love to have them at Mamelodi Sundowns!
Manqoba heaps praise on Kaizer Chiefs youngsters
“Shabalala is a big factor in the game. He also got some very good moments today. Duba played exceptionally well. This is the feeling I have when I looked at these boys,” Manqoba Mngqithi said as quoted by IDiski Times.
“Vilakazi, when he’s given a chance, they are all very good football players. But the biggest mistake that you can make with those young players is to put the load of a team as big as Kaizer Chiefs on their shoulders.
“But honestly speaking, those are exceptionally gifted players, I would love to have them in my team, I don’t want to lie to you.”
