Top 5 SA transfers so far!
MTNFootball.com picks our top five top
transfers in South Africa during the current transfer window.
Koen
van de Laak (Ajax Cape Town)
OK, so we admit we know nothing about this guy, but it is always interesting to
see how players from the mainstream leagues in Europe adapt to the PSL. Van de
Laak certainly looks to be a player with good ability after playing for the
Netherlands Under-21 side and almost 300 times in the Dutch Eredivisie. Whether
he can stay injury-free will be the big question, but we are looking forward to
seeing him in action.
John
Arwuah (Bloemfontein Celtic)
The Ghanaian is a much under-valued player
and on his day is amongst the best in the PSL in that holding midfielder role.
He was part of a swap deal that saw Clifford Mulenga move to SuperSport United,
but for our money this is the better end of the deal. Mulenga can be a loose
cannon, Arwuah is the consummate professional.
Onyekachi
Okonkwo (Orlando Pirates)
He might be past his prime, we will have to
see, but just having Onyekachi back in the PSL will raise the entertainment
value, and possibly the cash in the coffers of the PSL DC. He is never far from
trouble and in his first stint at Bucs threatened to beat up the referee in a
charity game! He also went AWOL on a number of occasions to attend trials in
Europe, and then when he finally did win a move there, signed for two clubs,
German’s FC Cologne and Swiss side FC Zurich. He was also a fine player in his
last spell in the PSL but that was way back in 2007.
Morgan
Gould (Kaizer Chiefs)
Gould should provide a big boost to the
Kaizer Chiefs backline and has been one of the most consistent defenders in the
PSL over the past three or four seasons while with SuperSport United. He also
brings with him knowledge of winning the League, something most Chiefs players
cannot identify with. And he should be good for five or six goals at the other
end as well, providing threat from set-pieces. And what’s more, he is just a lovely
man, so we wish him well!
Bevan
Fransman (SuperSport United)
Fransman returns to the PSL after stints in Israel with
Maccabi Netanya and Hapoel Tel Aviv, where he had a largely successful time of
it, winning League titles and playing in the UEFA Champions League. He was
married last December and so has now decided to return to South Africa to
continue his career. At the age of 28, he should be just about hitting his
prime as a player and can feature in either central defence or midfield.
