Mamelodi Sundowns are working hard to secure the services of TS Galaxy defender Khulumani Ndamane.
The left-footed center-back is meant to add depth at Masandawana, especially after the exit of Lucas Suarez, who struggled to fit at the defending Premier Soccer League champions. His loan deal wasn't extended, and he eventually left about a month ago.
The 21-year-old Khulumani Ndamane is seen as the better option to replace Mosa Lebusa, who is ageing. Last season, he played 27 games for Galaxy across all competitions, even attracting the attention of Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos who gave him his debut in June.
However, the Rockets have no option but to look for a replacement to help cover the void left by the youngster.
TS Galaxy find a replacement in fringe Chiefs defender
“TS Galaxy have identified 21-year-old centre-back Xolani Cossa as a potential replacement for Ndamane. Cossa, who is known for his excellent long-range passing, is reportedly keen to leave Kaizer Chiefs after struggling to secure a spot in the senior team,” FARPost reported.
“His path to the first team was blocked by the acquisitions of Rushwin Dortley and Bradley Cross, as well as the impressive form of Aden McCarthy. With just one year left on his development contract, indications are that the Soweto giants are open to letting him go on loan.
“Ndamane’s potential transfer aligns with TS Galaxy’s business model. The club readily sells its top players to reinvest in the squad,” they concluded.
It will be interesting to see if Chiefs will be willing to let the youngster leave permanently owing to his talent.
