Zimbabwe international winger Daniel Msendami has been one of the shining stars for the Premier Soccer League side Marumo Gallants.
His latest exploits were last weekend when he was directly involved in the two goals Bahlabane Ba Ntwa scored in the 2-1 win over Kaizer Chiefs at the FNB Stadium. In his team's first goal, the attacker's initial effort was not dealt with properly by goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma, and Trevor Mathiane capitalised on the rebound.
Msendami then scored the winner late in the match after his long free-kick found its way past the Glamour Boys custodian. It was his 31st game for the club across all competitions in the ongoing campaign with a return of three goals and as many assists.
Msendami attracts suitors after impressive exploits
His agent Tshepo More has conceded his client is a wanted man, “I always say this to Daniel: what we call an offer is something that is on paper. Once it is in black and white, then we call it an offer. But if you just receive calls saying we want this player, that’s not an offer. So, have I received calls? Yes, I have received calls from abroad, clubs in the PSL, and North Africa,” he told Far Post.
“I think we are going through a phase similar to what we experienced last season when he was still at Jwaneng Galaxy. You know, we had a lot of offers, and some of them may have been from big clubs. So, people questioned why we chose Marumo Gallants.
“We went for Marumo Gallants at that time so that Daniel could showcase his talent. We appreciate that the club is giving him that platform, and we also thank the chairman [Abram Sello] for believing in Daniel.”
Chiefs or Pirates?
There have been rumours that the Soweto giants Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are keen on securing the services of the 24-year-old. It is the Glamour Boys who have been heavily linked with the talented Zimbabwe international.
“I see people talking about it. You can look; they say it is Orlando Pirates, and then they say it is Chiefs. It’s all over the place,” More responded when asked about the future of the Gallants' versatile attacker.
“But for me, what I can confirm is just that they are talking about it. We haven’t been approached to really discuss it. With that being said, it is just for us to sit down with Marumo Gallants as well, if there were talks with the chairman, and we will come after that,” he concluded.
