Mamelodi Sundowns have added additional quality depth to their attacking line-up. They signed a former Kaizer Chiefs winger on loan from overseas as Lucas Ribeiro's case lingers.

The Brazilians have yet to lose a game this season, technically. However, they were eliminated from the MTN8 competition on penalties by Orlando Pirates, and their recent match ended in a draw against the Glamour Boys.

Miguel Cardoso's side has been struggling since their off-field issue with Ribeiro, who won the PSL Player of the Season last campaign and also Goal of the Tournament at the FIFA Club World Cup.

Sundowns sign Ntsabeleng on loan

Sundowns are moving past Ribeiro this summer as they signed former Kaizer Chiefs forward, Tsiki Ntsabeleng, on loan from Major League Soccer side, FC Dallas.

The South African winger was scouted by the University of Coastal Carolina while representing UJ and was offered a scholarship. He went on to spend two years playing college football in the United States.

The Chiefs academy graduate joined FC Dallas in 2022, making over 90 appearances for the American side in all competitions, scoring twice and registering seven assists. He signed a new contract with the MLS side earlier this year.

FC Dallas released an official statement on their Twitter page confirming Ntsabeleng's loan move to Sundowns this summer.

"Why is Mamelodi Sundowns FC taking players on loan instead of promoting those who are already in their development structures. With all the money they have, Mamelodi Sundowns FC is not contributing meaningfully to the development of our football."
