Mamelodi Sundown’s latest recruit, Jayden Adams, bounced back emphatically following last year’s Bafana exile after the former Stellies starlet reported late to training camp.
Fast forward to today, and Adams has become the national team’s main focal point, scoring two in two games during the World Cup qualifiers in March. The 23-year-old is experiencing similar success in the domestic circuit, breaking into the Brazilian’s first team with his effortless style and marksman tendencies.
Adams’ talents have La Liga giants Sevilla FC vying for his services.
He is a player they [Sevilla] have been monitoring for some time now,” an inside source confirmed.
“You know Sevilla FC have scouts in Africa and those are the scouts who recommended him to the club in Spain and when the club looked at some of his videos it’s believed that they were impressed and that’s when the interest grew. Now they are enquiring about him. Sevilla SC are interested in Jayden Adams.”
Not on Sundowns watch
Masandawana management are besotted with the Bafana stars potential and will try their hardest to keep him in Tshwane.
“Sundowns are trying to build the team around him [Adams] with players like Themba Zwane nearing their retirement stages,” an additional source said.
“It will be hard for Sundowns to let Adams go as soon as he joined the team. You know there is other interest in other experienced players as well. They apparently would rather let those go for now and keep Jayden. It won’t be easy to let him go.”
