Grant Margeman Opens Up On His Mamelodi Sundowns Journey

Mamelodi Sundowns' midfielder, Grant Margeman singled out three of the many players he is eager to learn from during his time with the Brazilians.

The 22-year-old who moved from Ajax Cape Town (now Cape Town Spurs) in the GladAfrica Championship, has joined a star-studded Sundowns side, but is eager to fight for his place in the team.

As reported earlier today by the Siya crew and in this week's edition of Soccer Laduma, so far there's been no talk about Margeman possibly leaving the club on loan to pursue game-time elsewhere.

"I want to get into the team, fight for my place, grow as a person in the team and get to know and learn from the guys," the player said on Sundowns' official website. 

"It's a new chapter in my life but still the same Grant and the same goal which is to win more trophies for the club. The club has some great players with experience and I want to learn as much from them and give back to the club. There are guys like Hlompho (Kekana) AJ ( Andile Jali) George (Maluleka) just to name a few who have been in the game for years, and I want to win my first trophy as a professional footballer with the club."

Sundowns could trim the squad, here are the players in danger:

Joint coaches Manqoba Mngqithi & Rulani Mokwena expected to cut down the Downs squad

Reyaad Pieterse played one game in all five competitions Downs were in last season.

Abram Ngcobo was promoted from the MDC, but there are four senior goalkeepers ahead of him.

Soumahoro Bangaly managed just three appearances last season.

Malebogo Modise - promoted to the first team two months ago, but faces stiff competition against Tebogo Langerman, Lyle Lakay and Aubrey Modiba. Might go out on loan.

Promise Mkhuma - got game time in the bio-bubble, but with Peter Shalulile and Kermit Erasmus arriving, he might struggled to get more. Could go on loan.

Nyiko Mobbie - was on loan at Stellenbosch FC last season and there's been talk that he would remain there.

Anthony Laffor battled a long term injury and has fallen down the pecking order.

Katlego Otladisa has been loaned out for three seasons in a row now.

Siphesihle Mkhize returned from his loan spell at Ajax, but with Downs beefing up that department his chances of being a regular are slim.
