Nku Eyeing CAF Champions League Glory with Mamelodi Sundowns
Mamelodi Sundowns, the reigning champions of South African football, have acquired a new gem in Lesiba Nku, a 27-year-old attacker who recently joined their ranks at the outset of the current season.
Nku’s arrival at Masandawana is on the heels of a standout season with Marumo Gallants, a club that gained recognition by making it to the CAF Confederations Cup semi-finals.
Now, with a fresh start at Sundowns, Nku is setting his sights on the ultimate prize in African club football: the CAF Champions League.
From Bahlabane Ba Ntwaa to the CAFCL Dream
Lesiba Nku is no stranger to the continental stage, having come tantalizingly close to clinching the CAF title last season with his former club, Bahlabane Ba Ntwaa (Marumo Gallants).
As he embarks on a new chapter in his career with Mamelodi Sundowns, Nku has made it abundantly clear that winning the CAF Champions League with the club would be the ideal way to introduce himself to the world.
In an exclusive interview with Sundowns magazine, Nku expressed his excitement about the move and the prospect of achieving greatness with the club.
He stated,
“Moving to Bafana Ba Style is a huge milestone and an important step in my career. I am excited to be here, and winning the CAF Champions League would be an amazing way to announce my arrival at the club.”
A Promise of Style and Confidence
Nku, known for his flair and confidence on the pitch, is eager to integrate seamlessly into the Sundowns squad and showcase his unique style of play to the fans.
He firmly believes that by working cohesively as a team, they possess the potential to secure silverware in the current season.
With the collective goal of CAF Champions League success, Nku’s determination and skill add a new dimension to the formidable Sundowns.
The Road Ahead
Mamelodi Sundowns now stand on the threshold of another CAF Champions League campaign, where they will face Burundian side Bumamuru in the second qualification round.
The anticipation is palpable as fans await Nku’s debut in continental competition with the club.
The first leg of this crucial encounter is just around the corner, set to take place this coming weekend, with the return leg scheduled for 15 days later.
As the excitement builds, all eyes will be on Lesiba Nku and Mamelodi Sundowns as they strive to journey towards CAF Champions League glory.
