Kaizer Chiefs defender Sfiso Timba is set to try with Belgian Challenger Pro League outfit RWD Molenbeek.
The teenager has been doing well for the reserve team, helping them to second position on the Diski Challenge, just two points behind Stellenbosch who have played a game more. Timba was also part of the South Africa U20 side that won the Cosafa Cup to seal their place in the forthcoming U20 Africa Cup of Nations to be held in Ivory Coast.
Amakhosi coach Nasreddine Nabi was keen on having the 19-year-old in his senior team, but the Belgian side has acted first as confirmed by the youngster's agent Steve Kapeluschnik.
This kid has massive potential
“This is a great opportunity for Sfiso. He flew out on Thursday night to join the team in Turkey, where they are camping for their mid-season preparations,” he told SABC.
“This kid has massive potential and will be a future star. He has been invited to be assessed by the club, who are in the second division in Belgium and we will take it from there.
“We expect this to be a big year for him, especially with the AFCON coming up in April. I believe Sfiso is ready for Europe,” Kapeluschnik concluded.
Even if things don't go right for Timba in these trials, he has a massive chance to get into the Glamour Boys' senior team. He will have another opportunity to market himself when the South Africa U20 side competes in the continental competition.
