Russian giants ready to table massive offer for Sundowns’ Peter Shalulile

Mokwena full of praise for Shalulile
“Peter Shalulile is a top professional. You run out of superlatives when you want to describe Peter’s character.” Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rhulani Mokwena said.
“I remember having a discussion with Allan Freese just prior to Peter coming to us, and Freese’s words were ‘he will die for you guys on the pitch’.
“He is one that we’re fortunate to have. It humbles us to have players like Peter Shalulile because when you have him on the pitch, he injects a lot of energy into our game, he injects a lot of intensity into our game, and that’s important.
“For a team that presses from the top like Mamelodi Sundowns, with the strikers that we have, we need not just tactical direction with our high press; we also need an injection of speed and aggression.”
It remains to be seen where the diminutive attacker will end up come next season. In your opinion, how much is Mamelodi Sundowns star Peter Shalulile worth? Let us know in the comments section below.
