Xulu Attracts European Interest

Bafana Bafana defender Siyanda Xulu is attracting interest from clubs around Europe, his representative Lebogang 'Guluva' Mashishi has confirmed.

From August last year, the defender has been turning out for Turan Tovuz in Azerbaijan. So far this season, he has been doing well, with his performances earning him admirers from other European clubs, as confirmed by Mashishi.

The Durban-born player previously played for Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel, while he has had a spell with FC Rostov in Russia earlier in his career after leaving Mamelodi Sundowns in 2012. Xulu's performances have also earned him a place in Hugo Broos' latest Bafana Bafana squad for the two 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Liberia.

Speaking to the Siya crew, Mashishi confirmed that the 31-year-old former Kaizer Chiefs man is also being monitored by clubs from the Arabian Gulf.

"My client Siyanda Xulu is in high demand across Europe and the Arabian Gulf. He has had a wonderful season so far in (the) Azerbaijan Premier League," said Mashishi.

Xulu is expected to play a big role with Bafana hoping to boost their chances of qualifying for the Afcon with the two matches against Liberia. The Durban-born star's contract with the Azerbaijani club is set to expire in June, having signed a one-year deal when he joined last year.
