The source said:

“Mamelodi Sundowns are showing an interest in attacker Jaedin Rhodes. Sundowns, and probably a few other rival clubs, are watching on, and Siya sources have been led to believe the Tshwane giants have put Rhodes on their radar and added him to a growing wish list for the near future.”

Sundowns look to add youth

Mokwena is fearless in using young players, as seen in their last-gasp victory over Richard's Bay FC on Tuesday, 2 April 2024.
