Another PSL club is interested in Toure, according to the tweet below:

According to a Soccer Laduma source, the defender wants to leave, while Stellies has shown an interest in Cape Town Spurs winger Ashley Cupido.

The source said:

"The latest club to have enquired about him is Sekhukhune United. He is the player they see contributing to the CAF Confederation Cup campaign. But everything will depend on his situation with Stellenbosch and how it is handled in the coming days as he is still contracted to the club."

Fans predict Toure's next move

Local football fans praised Toure on social media, suggesting possible destinations for the Ivorian if he leaves Stellenbosch.

Abel Bigjohn says Chiefs is the best place for Toure:

"He must join Chiefs. He can be a good replacement for Patrick Mabedi."

"SuperSport United."

Glenn SoMuzi Hlahlandlela is a fan:

"Good player, this one."

Zuko Kele Sky Zoleka shared their dream:

"This guy is Mamelodi Sundowns material & I once asked coach Rhulani Mokwena to have a look at him! I always wished he had joined Mamelodi Sundowns two seasons ago."

Marc van Heerden predicts a big future for former teammate

As reported by Briefly News, former Cape Town City and Stellenbosch FC defender Marc van Heerden backed Deano van Rooyen to be a star at new club Orlando Pirates.

The recently retired defender, who played with Van Rooyen at Stellies, said the player will thrive at the Soweto club and could earn a Bafana Bafana call-up.
