Benni McCarthy: Thabo Nodada can replace N'Golo Kante at Chelsea

Cape Town City head coach Benni McCarthy believes midfielder Thabo Nodada is now ripe for a move to one of Europe’s big leagues.

One of the standout performers for Cape Town City this season, Nodada has scored three goals in five Premier Soccer League appearances after recovering from an injury that sidelined him for a lengthy period last season.

His good form has seen him grabbing a brace against SuperSport United two weeks ago and again finding the target during last weekend’s 3-3 draw with Orlando Pirates.

With McCarthy having been quoted criticising his players in recent weeks, he has however spoken glowingly of Nodada whom he believes can easily play in one of Europe’s top leagues.
