Mamelodi Sundowns, the current DStv champions, have reportedly expressed interest in Thapelo Maseko, a talented young winger from SuperSport United. The 20-year-old player has caught the attention of many with his impressive performance in the recent DStv Premiership season.
In 25 games, Maseko scored four goals and provided two assists, contributing to the team’s third-place finish in the DStv Premiership. His outstanding performance has earned him a call-up to the South African national team, Bafana Bafana.
SuperSport United coach Hugo Broos has advised Maseko to consider an overseas move while he’s still young. The coach believes that opportunities in Europe could benefit the player’s career, citing Lyle Foster’s trajectory as an example.
Despite Broos’ advice, Mamelodi Sundowns has reportedly offered a substantial deal to SuperSport United for Maseko’s services. The club sees Maseko’s prowess as a winger as a valuable addition to their attacking left side next season. However, other clubs, including Westerlo in Belgium, have expressed interest in Maseko.
Mamelodi Sundowns has a history of poaching players from SuperSport United. Notable examples include Teboho Mokoena, Ronwen Williams, Grant Kekana, and Aubry Modiba.
As negotiations unfold, all eyes will be on Thapelo Maseko’s future in football. Will he heed Broos’ advice and seek an overseas move, or will he join Mamelodi Sundowns and continue to develop his career in the PSL?
Regardless of his decision, Thapelo Maseko’s meteoric rise in the world of football is a testament to his talent and dedication. With a bright future ahead of him, fans, clubs, and fellow players alike will be watching closely to see what the young winger will achieve in the coming years.
