The signing of 19-year-old Thapelo Maseko is a coup for the Brazilians who had to reportedly fight off interest from clubs in Belgium. Maseko scored four DStv Premiership goals last season from 24 appearances for Matsatsantsa. He’s a versatile left-sided attacker who can be deployed in a marauding left-back role.
