Another source suggested that after observing him in the DDC, there is a strong belief that he is ready for top-flight football and can perform at a higher level.
"In his first game this season, the opener of the DDC season, he assisted two goals. So far, he has played all three games for Sundowns DDC, and his talent appears to be growing with every game.
