Human ended up being one of the standout players for Bafana Bafana in the recently concluded COSAFA Cup, scoring their opening goal of the tournament, in a 1-1 draw against Namibia. Human was also the player who scored the winning penalty in the fixture, to earn the South Africans a bronze medal on home soil, in their 3rd/4th playoff match against Malawi. It is now expected that the race for his signature between Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns is now set to heat up.

Chiefs were the first team to be credited with an interest in the player, with links surfacing two months ago.  At the time, there was hope from their side that they could secure his signature on a free, before they learnt that the KZN club had exercised their option to extend his deal for another season. Pirates then joined the chase for Human, and this publication also reported that, they were in talks with Maritzburg to do a double deal for both the 22-year-old and his partner in crime Karim Kimvuidi.

The links to Chiefs started to subside around that time, but out of nowhere, the player started commenting about how open he would be to joining Amakhosi. On top of that, he revealed that he is in constant contact with the club vice-captain Keagan Dolly who hails from his neighbourhood. Just last week, this publication reported that Amakhosi had now taken the lead over Pirates, as well as any possible interest from Sundowns. 

Sundowns now lead Chiefs and Pirates for Human?

On Wednesday, this publication revealed that Maritzburg value Human at R10m for either of Chiefs, Pirates or Sundowns. Now according Soccer-Laduma that price tag could leave the Brazilians with the best chance of signing the player, due to their financial muscle.
