The Brazilians announced the arrival of four new players earlier this week and their coach explains why they settled for these acquisitions
Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Rhulani Mokwena says they signed Zimbabwe international defender Divine Lunga because of his “ability to perform in big matches” while they went for 26-year-old striker Pavol Safranko because of his age.
Sundowns also welcomed midfielder Grant Kekana from SuperSport United and attacking midfielder Neo Maema who came in from Bloemfontein Celtic.
On Lunga, Mokwena stated they were charmed by how he performed in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations opening match between hosts Egypt and Zimbabwe in which the former Golden Arrows left-back was the Warriors’ standout player.
