Cape Town City boss Eric Tinkler says he will not allow big PSL teams to poach any of his star players as Kaizer Chiefs and Sundowns circle around Khanyisa Mayo and Mduduzi Mdantsane respectively.

Cape Town City don’t want to be a selling club

The Citizens have sold big name player to the traditionally bigger sides in recent years, but Tinkler is keen for stability. Star striker Khanyisa Mayo has been linked with Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs, while Mduduzi Mdantsane is also going nowhere according to the City boss.

“We are looking to try and keep the squad that we currently have, we are looking to bring in one or two reinforcements just to strengthen us,” said Tinkler as per iDiskiTimes.

“But on the whole, everybody is staying and I think we are looking to build on what we have. I think we have used the most youngsters this season in the league. We have quite a young squad, you know, so it’s gonna take time.

“Hopefully next season we see them getting better. There are players like Jaedin Rhodes, Taahir Goedeman, Luphumlo Sifumba and a couple of other youngsters that we also want to look to promote that we think have potential,” said Tinkler.

Mayo is a wanted man

Mayo has added two more years to his current contract but that won’t deter big-spending Mamelodi Sundowns from paying over the odds to get their man. To add more spice, City travel to Kaizer Chiefs on the final day of the PSL season.
