The 26-year-old is looking to leave Chloorkop in search of playing time
Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sipho Mbule is in the process of securing a loan transfer to Sekhukhune United in search of regular playing time.
Reports say Mbule is keen to play regularly, something that cannot be guaranteed at Sundowns, and has therefore decided to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Babina Noko have emerged as the club interested in the player and are reportedly working on a loan deal for the 26-year-old who has four caps for Bafana Bafana.
Why is Sipho Mbule looking to leave Sundowns?
Mbule has fallen down the pecking order at Sundowns where Toboho Mokoena, Marcelo Allende, Sphelele Mkhulise and Lebohang Maboe are already ahead of him and looks like he could have an extended stay on the bench if he sticks around.
The Brazilians are ready to let him leave as they are happy with their options while they are also pursuing a deal for Stellenbosch FC midfielder Jayden Adams before the transfer deadline day on Friday.
Mbule has been at Sundowns since 2022 after crossing over from Tshwane rivals SuperSport United and has made 51 appearances for the club.
The midfielder has had his controversies at Chloorkop
The players’ stay at Chloorkop has, however, not been without incidents as he was reported to have arrived for training under the influence in March 2023 while there were rumours of a training ground fight recently.
Sekhukhune are reported to be close to agreeing terms with Sundowns with the player’s decision over the transfer still the main sticking point.
