Mamelodi Sundowns defender Khuliso Mudau has revealed he wants a move to the Premier League amid interest from Premier League newcomers Burnley.
The 28-year-old has been a key figure in his club side this season, helping Sundowns beat Moroccan giants Wydad AC in the African Football League final.
Mudau has featured in four South African Football League matches this season and Mamelodi currently have a 100% record in the division, having picked up 24 points from their opening eight matches.
The right-back has made six appearances for South Africa and scored his first international goal in a 2-1 win over Benin in a CAF World Cup qualifier on Saturday.
According to South African news magazine SNL 24, Mudau is expected to move away from his home country for the first time in his football career in the near future. According to the report, Vincent Kompany and Burnley are interested in the right-back, who has made 101 appearances for Sundowns since joining in September 2020.
Although the Clarets are still formally closing in on the six-time international, his form for club and country has attracted a host of potential European suitors. Speaking to the South African Football Association earlier during the international break, Mudau explained how he will be ready for a move to the Premier League and Turf Moor. andquot;Obviously there are rumors here and there, but I am focused on my team, which is Mamelodi Sundowns. But if this opportunity [to play for Burnley] comes, obviously I’ll take it and take it.
Mudau spoke to his national side and the media. A move to Burnley would see him link up on the right with compatriot Lyle Foster, who joined Kompanyand#039;s ranks in January from Belgian Pro League side Westerlo. The 23-year-old was the Claretsand#039; leading the Premier League in the opening stages of the season, scoring three goals in seven games, but the striker is currently taking a break from football to receive mental health treatment.
In the absence of the former Orlando Pirates striker, Premier League veteran Jay Rodriguez has seen more game time in the league in recent weeks, starting alongside Zeki Amdoun in the latest defeat to Arsenal. Unlike at left-back – where the failure to sign Ian Maatsen in the latter stages of the summer window left Burnley with options – the Clarets’ right-back section is well stocked, with Connor Roberts and Vitinho both fit to play.
station Madau will be looking to help South Africa to victory when they travel to Rwanda on Tuesday afternoon for their second World Cup qualifier. The biggest performance is enough to increase the lead over group favorites Nigeria to four points.
