Sundowns announce Wandile Dube signing
Orlando Pirates were reportedly interested in the 22‑year‑old.
Mamelodi Sundowns finalized their summer transfer window by signing 22-year-old defender Wandile Dube from AmaZulu. The versatile player can play at both centre-back and left-back positions, joining the Brazilians and putting an end to all speculation about his future. Orlando Pirates were reportedly interested in Dube, a 22-year-old. He had not appeared for Usuthu this season before transferring to Tshwane. Sundowns announced Dube's signing on Tuesday afternoon, making him the club's eighth signing of the new campaign.
The South African club, already known as the reigning African champions, continued to strengthen their squad by bringing in Antonio van Wyk, Siyanda Ndlovu, Cassius Mailula, Deano van Rooyen, Thabo Cele and Thabang Matuludi. Additionally, Katlego Ntsabeleng's move from Major League Soccer side FC Dallas was made permanent after he spent a season-long loan at Chloorkop during the previous campaign.
Sundowns entered the FIFA International break with high confidence following their victory in the FIFA African-Asian Pacific Cup, a 2-1 win over Al-Ahli Saudi. Dube will have to compete with Grant Kekana, Malibongwe Khoza, Khulumani Ndamane, Keanu Cupido and Mothobi Mvala for a starting spot in the center of the defense.
