Lucas Radebe, one of South Africa's most iconic footballers, is set to witness his son, Kutlwano, carve out his own path in the beautiful game after securing a contract with Spanish side Sporting Gijon.
The young Radebe, a promising attacker, has made waves with his talent and determination, and now at just 13-years-old, he's on his way to joining one of Spain's respected football clubs.
Kutlwano recently underwent a successful assessment period with Sporting Gijon, and all signs point to him being snapped up by the Spanish outfit. This move marks an exciting new chapter for the youngster, who has been playing for CFA Midstream, a development academy in South Africa, before impressing scouts from the Spanish club.

Despite his age, the rising star is already showing immense potential on the field, with a natural ability that has caught the attention of talent scouts.
It's no surprise that the son of Radebe, a football legend who played for clubs such as Leeds United and represented South Africa on the international stage, has followed in his father's footsteps. Known for his resilience, leadership, and tenacity as a centre-back, Radebe's legacy has undoubtedly made a significant impact on his son's journey, both in terms of inspiration and support.
Although the footballing world will no doubt be excited to see Kutlwano's development, it's important to remember that the 13-year-old is still in the early stages of his career.
Balancing school with his growing football career, Kutlwano is currently a Grade 8 student, which reflects his youthful approach to life and sport. His move to Spain will not only give him the chance to develop his football skills but also expose him to a new culture and footballing philosophy that can shape his future.
