Erasmus speaks about Sirino in the tweet below:

According to FARPost, Erasmus, who has been without a club since leaving Orlando Pirates at the end of last season, had nothing but good things to say about Sirino.

Erasmus said:

"Sirino is a great guy; he works hard in training and loves being his own human being. He can be very playful off the field. I've never had any problems or issues with him while playing with him at Sundowns. You can see his impact as a player; when he's in the mood, he brings his A-game. He still struggles with English, but when I play with him, we'll communicate without speaking."

Fans miss Sirino, according to the tweet below:
