South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns have reportedly stepped up their pursuit of Super Eagles defender Olisa Ndah following his departure from Stellenbosch, with negotiations understood to be at an advanced stage.
The 28-year-old centre back is currently a free agent after leaving Stellenbosch at the end of last season, making him an attractive option for clubs looking to strengthen their squads without paying a transfer fee. According to reports from South Africa, Sundowns are keen to add the Nigerian international to their defensive ranks ahead of the new Betway Premiership campaign.
Ndah is no stranger to South African football, having built a solid reputation during his time in the Premier Soccer League. His composure on the ball, aerial strength and defensive awareness have made him one of the most respected Nigerian defenders in the division.
Although talks between the two parties are progressing positively, no final agreement has been reached, and discussions are expected to continue in the coming days.
A move to Mamelodi Sundowns would represent a significant step in Ndah’s career. The Pretoria-based club has dominated South African football in recent years and regularly competes in the CAF Champions League, offering the defender another opportunity to showcase his quality on the continental stage.
The potential transfer could also be a timely boost. Regular football with one of Africa’s biggest clubs would strengthen Ndah’s chances of remaining in contention for Eric Chelle’s squad ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
Sundowns are expected to continue reinforcing their squad as they bid to defend their domestic title and challenge for continental honours next season, with Ndah emerging as one of their priority defensive targets.
While the deal is yet to be completed, the signs suggest the experienced Nigerian could soon be set for a new chapter with one of the continent’s most successful clubs if negotiations reach a successful conclusion.
