Arsenal legend Wenger definitely saw something in me - Mamelodi Sundowns' Ngcongca

Mamelodi Sundowns defender Anele Ngcongca has reflected on his time with Premier League giants Arsenal.

The versatile defender spent some time with the Gunners under the watchful eye of French manager Arsene Wenger while on a two-week trial as an 18-year-old at the London giants in 2006.

Ngcongca was on the books of FC Fortune, who were campaigning in the National First Division (NFD) at the time.

“Arsene Wenger definitely saw something in me and I’m grateful. It was all a miracle. At one point, I was one of the youngest footballers in Mvela [NFD]," Ngcongca told Far Post.
