'Any Top Club In SA Would Want Cupido'

'Any Top Club In SA Would Want Cupido'

Cape Town Spurs' leading striker Ashley Cupido's agent Paul Mitchell says there's every reason for big clubs in the country to come knocking for his client's signature. 

Cupido has been an influential figure for Spurs in their bid to get promotion to the DStv Premiership after finishing the 2022/23 Motsepe Foundation Championship season as the top goal-scorer with 15 goals.

The 22-year-old's 15 goals were not enough to earn Spurs automatic promotion, after they lost out on the Championship title to Polokwane City on goal difference, after the sides were equal on points. 

The Mother City side, however, have started the promotion/relegation play-offs very well and can earn promotion to the PSL if they get a good result against Maritzburg United on Wednesday. 

Mitchell has described Cupido as a complete centre-forward and revealed that there is interest in his services, both locally and abroad. 

"Yes, Ashley is with us, quality player. Look, the first thing is to get Cape Town Spurs over the line for him in terms of interest in the PSL," Mitchell said on Radio 2000's Game On

"Look, there's been a lot of interest locally and internationally. 16 goals (including one in the play-offs), I think he's got everything to be brutally honest. He's quick, he can finish, he can play anywhere in the front three, he's good in the air. He's got a work rate to die for," he said. 

Mitchell, who also represents the likes of Keagan Dolly (Kaizer Chiefs), Fagrie Lakay (Pyramids, Egypt) and Rushine De Reuck (Mamelodi Sundowns), among others, went on and suggested that any Sporting Director of a big club in the country would want to sign Cupido. 

"I think he's a top, top player and he's still only 22 and the Sporting Director of any top club in South Africa (would) want to sign Ashley Cupido but we'll see what the future holds once we know the results of the play-offs and we'll go from there," he added.
