AmaZulu keen to bring in former Sundowns and Pirates midfielder

AmaZulu are reportedly interested in signing Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Gift Motupa.

The 28-year-old has struggled for game-time since his move to the Tshwane giants in 2020 and could be loaned out to the Durban-based club.

Usuthu initially showed interest in Downs striker Thabiso Kutumela but Cape Town City won the race for his services, The Citizen reported. Amazulu have struggled to find goals this season and are yet to score in their first two league matches.

“They need a proven striker with PSL experience and that is very difficult to find,” said the publication.

“And now that they have lost out on Kutumela, they are trying to get Sundowns to loan them Motupa.

“I don’t see why Sundowns would refuse because he doesn’t seem to be in the coach’s plans for this season.”

Last week, AmaZulu head coach Pablo Franco Martin was keeping a close eye on Puleng Tlolane and Collins Makgaka, who were training with the club.

“We will keep playing with these guys I’m really happy with them [the AmaZulu players], with their commitment and effort,” Franco Martin said.
