Mamelodi Sundowns starlet attracts European interest.
Sundowns’ young defensive sensation, Malibongwe Khoza, has delivered a breakout season in the Premier Soccer League (PSL), commanding attention with his composure, skill, and consistency. Week after week, he has proven his worth with rock-solid defensive displays, crucial interceptions, and intelligent positioning. His ability to read the game and contribute offensively has set him apart as one of the most promising defenders in South African football. European clubs have taken notice, with a French side actively pursuing the talented 20-year-old, a source has revealed.
French club scouts monitoring Khoza closely
A source close to both Khoza and the club confirmed that scouts from a French club have been closely tracking the 20-year-old’s progress. The club’s representatives have already inquired about him and attended his matches to assess his abilities firsthand.
“He has done very well and has attracted interest from France. That club has enquired about him, and they even sent their representatives to watch him during games. They want to do their own assignment during the off-season. But that can only happen after the Club World Cup, which ends in July. But this is a great chance for him to move to Europe while still young,” the source stated.
Sundowns open to Khoza’s move to Europe
Mamelodi Sundowns appear supportive of Khoza’s potential move abroad, recognizing the opportunity for both personal and professional growth. The club has been proactive in strengthening its defense, ensuring they are prepared for any potential departures.
“If you look at how Sundowns have signed their defenders, they are prepared for any eventuality, including Mali (Khoza) moving to France. They have the right replacements, mainly in the central defensive areas. They are willing to see their players grow, and if all goes well for him, it’s believed he has the club’s blessings,” the source concluded.
Khoza’s standout debut season
Khoza has been a revelation for Sundowns this season, featuring in 24 games across all competitions. The talented defender has even found the back of the net twice, further proving his versatility and potential in South African football.
With European interest heating up, Khoza could be the next PSL star to make the leap to European football.
