Kutumela: Mngqithi fuels fire of ex-Orlando Pirates striker's rumoured move to Mamelodi Sundowns

The Bafana international has an admirer at the Tshwane giants with the club expected to sign new players in the transfer window

Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi has admitted that he has always liked Maritzburg United captain Thabiso Kutumela.

The 27-year-old player was one of the most outstanding players in the PSL during the 2020/21 season which saw him being nominated for the Footballer of the Year and Player's Player of the Season accolades.

Kutumela, who was on the books of Orlando Pirates between 2016 and 2019, has been strongly linked with Sundowns and AmaZulu FC ahead of the July-August transfer window.
