After an impressive start to his career at Chiefs, Phathutshedzo Nange has battled injuries in 2022-23, and game-time has been few and far between.

SuperSport are currently second on the league table, and will be hoping to close the gap even further on Sundowns in the next league campaign.

As part of the squad planning, SuperSport could look to target Nange and Mosa Lebusa, who is coming out of contract at Sundowns in the middle of the year.

“Both Nange and Lebusa are part of the players that have been identified with the intention to lure them to SuperSport United next season,” a source told Kick Off.
