DStv Premiership runners-up AmaZulu are determined to build on last season’s momentum as they continue to add new faces to coach Benni McCarthy’s squad.
According to Siya sources, the latest signing expected to be unveiled at Usuthu is Matarr Ceesay, a 21-year-old Gambian international.
It was reported more than a month ago that the midfielder had surfaced at the KwaZulu-Natal outfit for trials, and indications are that the club has been impressed and offered him a long-term contract.
There is no record of Ceesay being attached to any club since some time last year when he was on the books of Casa Sports in Senegal – he was also linked with a move to the French Ligue 1, but that did not materialise.
With AmaZulu eager to beef up their squad for next season in an effort to maintain the club’s best ever league finish in top-flight football, there will be huge expectations on Ceesay to deliver, given he came highly recommended when it was agreed that he could fly to Mzansi to be assessed with a view of being offered a deal.
He will join a list of several other new signings – among them Keagan Buchanan and Tercious Malepe, who will captain the SA Olympic team in Japan.
Usuthu were still trying to conclude a deal with striker Mwape Musonda, but as things stand there has been no deal due to the player’s personal demands.
