Bafana Bafana defender Siyanda Xulu has revealed three countries where there are interest in his services, including Saudi Arabia, where some of the world's biggest stars are now moving to.
Xulu just completed his first season with Turan Tovuz in the Azerbaijan topflight, making 27 appearances in all competitions for the club. It's understood that the Bafana Bafana vice-captain signed a one-year deal with the club that finished sixth in the topflight and the next step in his career will be confirmed soon, with the possibility of staying not being ruled out.

Having played in Israel and Russia previously, the 31-year-old could make a move, but has also expressed a desire to stay with the team he is currently playing for.
"It was quite a very interesting year for me. I was new there, playing with a team that had just been promoted from the lower division to the first division and I think I did fairly well (and) that is why I was able to attract some interest, which is very good for me as a player, on my first season to catch an eye overseas. It was quite a positive on my side," the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs player told media during a Bafana Bafana press conference held at the University of Pretoria's High Performance Centre.
"I would love to stay because the league is quite good. We have so many players who come from different types of worlds and leagues, so it makes the league competitive. We have three or four teams that play in Europe - the Europa Conference League, the Europa League and Champions League. It's a level where I would love to stay."
