Meanwhile, there are some new faces at Chloorkop.
As expected, Sundowns have further beefed for next season, and that is bad news for the Soweto rivals. Let’s look at the four new signings at Kabo Yellow.
As The South African website reported in the past month, Sundowns are four quality players stronger. The new faces include a midfielder, a winger, and two attackers.
THE LIST SO FAR:
- Lesiba Nku, 27, defender/midfielder
- Junior Mendieta, 30, central attacking midfielder
- Lucas Ribeiro Costa, 23, attacking midfielder/forward
- Thapelo Maseko, 19, winger.
Meanwhile, Sundowns will kick off the 2023/24 season away to Sekhukhune United on Friday, 4 August.
