    Why have Sundowns struggled in the final third?

    In the last two seasons, the defending Premier Soccer League champions have been relying heavily on Lucas Ribeiro in the final third.

    However, after his forced exit, the Brazilians have taken time to adapt, struggling to get a player to easily unlock defences. 

    It explains the links to Sport Recife's Brazilian attacker Matheusinho.

    Matheusinho responds to Sundowns' links

    The 27-year-old responded to the reported move to Mzansi.

    "My mind is completely focused on Sport. I'm a player for the club and I'll defend it until the last day of my contract. I'm Sport until my last day," he told Ne45.

    What should Masandawana do?

    The transfer window in the Premier Soccer League closes on Monday, September 29.

    If, indeed, the club is serious about having the attacker, then they have to ensure they have given their best to secure his services before it is too late.

    His quality will definitely be needed in international assignments.
