Pitso Mosimane confirms Sundowns are closing in on Mozambican player Luis

Mamelodi Sundowns returned to winning ways on Wednesday evening with a confidence-boosting victory over Orlando Pirates.

Nonetheless, the 53-year-old admitted that Sundowns already have their eye on two potential signings.

While one of the players is believed to be Zambian teenager Lameck Banda who is currently on trial with Sundowns, Mosimane revealed that Sundowns could potentially welcome a new Mozambican player identified only as Luis.

The player Mosimane was referring to is believed to be Uniao Desportivo do Songo midfielder midfielder Luis Miquissone.

“Luis the Mozambican... we are working, he is coming. The one more like Tau is coming,” Mosimane told the media.

“I think I will be off to South America tomorrow (Thursday). We have to do work and strengthen the team,” he added.

Furthermore, Mosimane explained his intentions behind bringing in several new faces to Chloorkop.

“A lot of guys like 'Keke' (Kekana), Zwane, 'Sugar' (Mabunda) have done a lot of mileage playing in the (Caf) Champions League for two and half years without rest, and obviously their performances will take a dip. They need a reliever,” he explained.
