Mamelodi Sundowns fringe player attracts European interest
Mamelodi Sundowns attacker Thapelo Maseko has reportedly attracted interest from Europe. According to SABC Sport , Maseko, who has become a fringe player at Sundowns this season, is wanted in Cyprus. However, the name of the team interested in his services is still unknown but Sundowns are sitting with a proposal. All that Sundowns need to do is to decide whether or not to entertain the proposal for further talks. And according the publication, should there be any talks between the parties involved, the proposed deal will be for the upcoming season. Maseko, 21, has not seen enough game time under Miguel Cardoso this season with only six league appearances to his name. Overall, Maseko has featured 36 times for Sundowns since his arrival from SuperSport United two seasons ago. The left-footed attacker has not really reached his full potential at Sundowns with just two goals and an assist to his name. Meanwhile, Maseko was most recently linked with a possible move to Kaizer Chiefs who are expected to overhaul their squad. Thapelo Maseko of Mamelodi Sundowns at Peter Mokaba Stadium.

'The 21-year-old is now the subject of a potential transfer to Europe, but only if Sundowns are open to discussions over a move when the registration window opens at the end of the season.'
