Ho Chi Minh City Club Overview

The Bafana Bafana defender has been heavily linked with a move to the reigning African champions as the transfer window enters its final stages. Following the Brazilians’ victory at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday night, the Portuguese mentor weighed in on the speculation surrounding the potential move.

The return of the two South African stars is proof of the PSL's levels of professionalism, quality and appeal, and is not a sign of failure argues columnist Lerato Mkhondo.

The Brazilians continued their winning streak in their midweek Betway Premiership encounter against the Bloemfontein outfit, with Miguel Cardoso’s side eventually securing maximum points after a slow start. The Tshwane giants had to remain patient as they looked for a way through, but they ultimately found their rhythm and did enough to claim another valuable three points.

The Brazilians have moved decisively to bring the highly-rated right-back to Chloorkop, with his performances making him a key target for the club. The 27-year-old's arrival would further strengthen the Tshwane giants’ defensive options as they look to build a squad capable of competing across multiple fronts.
