Belgian giants targeting Sundowns defender Malibongwe Khoza

Mamelodi Sundowns defender Malibongwe Khoza is reportedly a target for KAA Gent to replace injured centre-back Mouhamed Ngom, who is set to miss at least six months due to a cruciate ligament injury. Transfer monitor Ekrem Konur revealed that Gent are interested in Khoza, who is currently contracted to Sundowns. The 22-year-old, born in Mamelodi, has made four appearances for South Africa and has played 50 times for Sundowns, netting four goals since his debut in 2024.

Konur stated that Gent isn't the only club after the Bafana Bafana defender, as Austria's SV Ried and French Ligue 2 side FC Nantes are also monitoring Khoza's progress. According to Transfermarkt, Khoza's market value stands at 850,000 euros, which translates to over 15 million South African Rand.
