Ethiopian forward Abubeker Nassir hopes to impress SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt and is reportedly training with the club after struggling at Mamelodi Sundowns.

Since he joined Masandawana in 2022, the 24-year-old has struggled with injuries and has not been registered in their squad this season.

PSL rival SuperSport needs a new striker after top scorer Bradley Grobler was injured, but the club will not be able to sign Nassir until the next transfer window.

After Sundowns' dominant 4-1 victory over Marumo Gallants on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, Mngqithi confirmed that Nassir is no longer at Masandawana.

If Nassir can impress Hunt, the Ethiopian will finally get a chance to establish himself in the PSL after only managing 12 appearances for Sundowns since 2022.
