Mamelodi Sundowns Targets Thembinkosi Lorch and Tashreeq Matthews in Transfer Coup
In a dramatic turn of events on transfer deadline day, Mamelodi Sundowns, the reigning DStv Premiership champions, are making bold moves to secure the signatures of Thembinkosi Lorch and Tashreeq Matthews.
Sundowns’ Long-Term Pursuit of Lorch:
Thembinkosi Lorch, a star from Orlando Pirates, has been on Sundowns’ radar for an extended period.
Reports suggest that personal terms are already agreed upon, but the clubs need to settle on a transfer fee.
Lorch has expressed his desire to make the move, and if successful, this would be a significant coup for Sundowns.
Tashreeq Matthews: A Return to South Africa’s Football Hub?
Former Borussia Dortmund prospect Tashreeq Matthews is another player in Sundowns’ sights. Currently playing for Swedish side IK Sirius, the 23-year-old winger has undergone a medical in Copenhagen, signaling his potential return to South Africa.
Sundowns are keen to finalize the deal before the transfer window closes.
Strategic Signings to Boost Sundowns’ Squad:
The potential acquisitions of Lorch and Matthews form part of Sundowns’ strategic plan to strengthen their attacking prowess with top-tier talent.
The club has been proactive in the transfer market, recently signing Matías Esquivel from Club Atlético Lanús and securing defender Zuko Mdunyelwa.
Experienced Leadership Addition: Jef Holove as COO:
To support the scaling of their platform, Digs has appointed Jef Holove as Chief Operating Officer.
Holove, a veteran technology executive, brings experience from his role as Chief Executive Officer of Drop, an e-commerce marketplace acquired by Corsair in 2023.
His responsibilities include overseeing supporting business functions and developing the platform’s marketplace.
Looking Ahead: Sundowns’ Ambitions in the Transfer Window:
As the clock ticks down on the transfer window, the coming hours will determine whether Sundowns can successfully secure both Thembinkosi Lorch and Tashreeq Matthews.
Their potential additions would further enhance Sundowns’ already formidable squad as they aim for continued success in the DStv Premiership.
