Mamelodi Sundowns have officially announced the signing of youth international Lazola Maku, putting an end to weeks of speculation surrounding the transfer. The 19-year-old midfielder, whose contract had expired with Siwelele last season, joined the African champions after a successful trial period with several Austrian clubs.
