After being released by the Brazilians last week, Hlompho Kekana has been linked with a number of DStv Premiership sides, including AmaZulu, SuperSport United, Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs and Chippa United.

However, Zungu shot down any speculation that his club would be putting in a bid to secure the services of the now 36-year-old.

Zungu reportedly told Kickoff that they have not spoken to Hlompho Kekana and at present have no interest in signing him – even though he personally is a fan of the veteran midfielder.

“I can’t say, Hlompho Kekana is undoubtedly a gentleman of soccer, a gentle giant and a great individual,” Zungu said.

“I have interacted with him in the past but I’m not prone to lying about the players I’m interested in and not interested in. So I wouldn’t say anything. It’s just a no comment in such a situation.

“But it is suffice to say we have not spoken to Hlompho. He’s a great player, he’s done great things for soccer in South Africa, and he’s done great things for Mamelodi Sundowns, that’s all I’m prepared to say.

“He’s a great guy there’s no question about it. I have learned you don’t sign players without talking to the coach. I also don’t think he will sign anyone because he does not have those powers either. But for me talking to our coach is the most critical thing that I can do.”
