Gimnasia LP Overview

The Brazilians have pulled off a significant transfer coup by securing the signature of the 23-year-old, despite the attacker appearing destined for the Buccaneers. The former Golden Arrows star had reportedly completed a medical at Mayfair before a dramatic late U-turn saw him unveiled at Chloorkop instead.

With Hugo Broos' planned departure from the South Africa national team now drawing closer, attention has increasingly turned to who could succeed the Belgian, with the former Golden Arrows coach expected to be among the frontrunners despite only recently taking charge of the East African outfit. However, he has remained unfazed by the speculation and instead backed another candidate to take charge.

Amakhosi have surprised many by deciding to retain the services of former Golden Arrows attacker for the upcoming campaign. Despite a difficult period for the winger at Naturena, the club has opted to trigger a contract extension to keep the veteran in the fold.

After being shown the exit door by Golden Arrows, the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach looked set to complete a high-profile move to Soweto. Instead, the veteran tactician ended up at Young Africans and has now disclosed the behind-the-scenes saga that blocked his path to Naturena.
