According to a source, all three clubs have made enquiries regarding Ndlovu’s availability, but Arrows are hesitant to approve a sale. The forward is regarded as a vital component of Manqoba Mngqithi’s plans, and the head coach has allegedly urged club management to block any potential January move.

However, the source added that resisting a lucrative offer could prove difficult for the club, suggesting that a transfer to one of the PSL heavyweights cannot be ruled out.

Ndlovu rose through the ranks at Golden Arrows, having come through the club’s development system before earning promotion to the first team in August 2023 following impressive displays in the DStv Diski Challenge.
