With Lesedi Kapinga rumoured to have requested a transfer away from the club on the January transfer window deadline day, Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena has now addressed the issue following the midfielder's impressive display in the Nedbank Cup.

Mokwena reshuffled his side to take on Richards Bay in the Nedbank Cup, a match in which the Brazilians emerged 2-1 winners.

One of the benefactors of the changes was Kapinga, who was understood to be on his way out of the club, although there was no last-minute offer for the pint-sized midfielder, which meant he remained at Chloorkop.

With two assists to his name on Tuesday evening, Mokwena was quizzed about Kapinga, with the coach revealing that the player wants to be at the star-studded club.

"They're all here because they want to be here," Mokwena told journalists.

"They're all available for selection. There were a lot of good individual performances today and that's why the team performance was very good.

"[I'm] not one to praise individuals because a lot of players were very good and [a] very good performance from the team," he continued.

Kapinga lasted 79 minutes as injury saw him substituted for Rivaldo Coetzee. The appearance against the Natal Rich Boyz was just his sixth of the campaign.
