FourFourTwo reports that the former University of Pretoria’s agent has been contacted by Amakhosi for a meeting with the player. This comes as Zungu still has a year left on his contract with Amiens. A source is quoted:
“The club has asked Zungu for a meeting to make an official offer. They really want to make him their first big signing in the coming transfer window, and are willing to meet his demands.”
