Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Bennett Mnguni says Khuliso Mudau should consider moving to Europe and avoid joining Rulani Mokwena in Morocco.
The 29-year-old defender has been linked with a move to Europe since impressing at the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year. The Sundowns star has attracted interest from English outfit Burnley, French side RC Lens, and the Belgian club K.R.C. Genk.
Mnguni has advised Mudau to move to England and not reunite with Rulani.
“Khuliso (Mudau) is a quality player. I don’t think he should go to Morocco. His first choice should be England. He deserves to play there with his quality,” Mnguni told Soccer Laduma.
“It’s good that he has interest all over but England should come first. Then maybe France as well. The league there is also on a higher level. In England, he also has the chance of playing in the Champions League or the Europa League. The same can happen in France. So, let him go to Europe.
Despite being linked with a move to Europe, it was reported that Rulani’s Wydad Casablanca were also interested in Mudau. The Bafana Bafana right-back is one of the coaches closest to Mokwena. A move to Wydad is not unlikely but Mnguni wants to see the Sundowns man in Europe.
“We need to export more players to Europe. That will help our country develop and improve the national team. That’s why I am saying that Khuliso (Mudau) should go to Europe,” Mnguni added.
“That will improve his game as well. We know that every player in South Africa or Africa dreams of playing in Europe so that’s where Mudau should go to improve his game.”
Will Rulani sign Mudau from Sundowns?
