A Durban City forward has attracted interest from two top Gauteng-based Betway Premiership sides, the Siya crew has been informed.
Insiders close to both the player and the two clubs have indicated that the player's impressive performances during the whole season have not gone unnoticed hence the interest from the two clubs.

The sources added that Samkelo Maseko is a wanted player after helping Durban City finish the Motsepe Foundation Championship on top of the standings and on the verge of promotion.
"These two clubs have been following the boy for almost the whole season and their scouts have been watching our games and they are happy with him. You know Samkelo is a winger who has an eye for goal and he has done very well this season. They are big teams but let's not jinx it for now by naming the teams but the interest is there," the insider told Soccer Laduma.
Meanwhile a second insider stated that Durban City are waiting on their PSL DC case to see whether they are promoted or not.
"It won't just be that simple for Durban City to let him go as they are also planning around him if promoted. But since football is business they may consider that even if they are promoted because the interest is serious," the second insider told the Siya crew.
Maseko has featured in the vast majority of Motsepe Foundation Championship games scoring on many occasions this season to help the team currently stay on top of the log.
Soccer Laduma contacted Durban City for comment but there was no response at the time of publishing this story.

This developing transfer saga creates an intriguing scenario for all parties involved. For Maseko, the opportunity to join an established Premiership side could accelerate his career progression, though remaining with a potentially promoted Durban City would offer guaranteed playing time.
For the Durban outfit, the dilemma between cashing in on a valuable asset or retaining their star man for their potential top flight campaign represents a crucial business decision. As the promotion process unfolds and the transfer window approaches, Maseko's situation will be closely watched by supporters of all clubs involved.
His impressive goal return from a wide position makes him a particularly valuable commodity in a league where consistent goalscorers are highly prized.
