WEDNESDAY, 1.30PM:
TWO South African under-20 soccer stars left for Holland on Sunday — Orlando Pirates’ Steve Lekoelea and School of Excellence’s Lucky Maselesele joined PSV Eindhoven for three months. They stand a chance of clinching contracts with the club if they impress during their stay.
This move comes after their performances in the World Youth Cup Championships in Malaysia last month. Maselesele was in Holland earlier this year where he had unsuccessful trials with the Dutch club, Ajax Amsterdam.
Orlando Pirates boss Irvin Khoza is likely to leave for Holland next week to see how the young stars are doing.
