Even though many pundits feel Mamelodi Sundowns don't need to sign new players during this January transfer window period, one former midfield general differs.

Cameroon born Roger Feutmba shares his opinion in an exclusive interview with Soccer Laduma about a club that is dominating in the PSL and has already lifted the African Football League.

Feutmba believes that the Brazilians need to sign a young midfielder who would eventually take over from the experienced Themba Zwane and Gaston Sirino.

"I think the team is well balanced at the moment if you look at the players we have right now. If you look at the players in the national team Bafana Bafana it shows you the quality we have," Feutmba began to speak in a positive light about Sundowns' achievements.

"But honestly I think the team needs to sign a midfielder. A central midfielder who could take over or replace players like Themba Zwane and Gaston Sirino. If you look at both of them they are not playing that much this season.

"It's because they are aging. We really need a much younger midfielder. If they can sign one it could be good for the team," Feutmba added.

The General, however, also added that the team needs an outright striker who could cover for Peter Shalulile.

"We need a top striker in case Shalulile is not available whether he is injured or suspended. At times even when he is not just in form and not doing well then you need another top striker. So I think apart from the midfielder we could also do with a top striker to cover for Peter (Shalulile)," Feutmba concluded.
