Mamelodi Sundowns won the race to sign Thabiso Kutumela and Phelelani Ntshangase has shared his thoughts on the player's move.
Kutumela has been one of the most exciting players in the league for the past two years and last season he raised the bar as he saved Maritzburg United from relegation which resulted in the attacker being eyed up by AmaZulu and SuperSport United.
Ntshangase is confident that Kutumela won't suffer like he did at Orlando Pirates where he failed to live up to expectations.
"The signing of Kutumela, I believe that it's a very good one because is one of the players that did well throughout the season and he is gonna do well at Sundowns with their style of play. It will suit him whenever given a chance," Ntshangase tells the Siya crew.
"I don't think he will struggle like he did with Pirates, he has grown and has more understanding of pressure."
With new players at Downs, the former defender believes that the club needs to release two players.
"Tebogo Langerman and Soumahollo Bangaly, I believe they no longer contribute to much in the team. Bear in mind, there is (Lyle) Lakay and (Aubrey) Modiba at left back, while in central defence you have (Ricardo) Nascimento, (Brian) Onyango, (Rushine) De Reuck , (Mosa) Lebusa, and it is very difficult for these players to be in a starting line-up.
