Mngqithi: Shalulile is one of Mamelodi Sundowns' 'best buys'

Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Manqoba Mngqithi has heaped praise on red-hot striker Peter Shalulile, who was signed from Highlands Park ahead of the current season.

Shalulile was the Premier Soccer League (PSL) joint top scorer last season after netting 16 goals for Highlands Park.

He's also hit the ground running at Sundowns and has five goals and two assists in 11 games for the Brazilians this season.

It's not only his goals though which have impressed Mngqithi, but also his phenomenal work-rate.

“Peter is one of the rare breeds, you wish for the kind of money that is paid to our players they would have the same mentality and professionalism in terms of their work because I regard him as a soldier, he runs the whole 90 minutes nonstop," Mngqithi was quoted saying by the Citizen.
