“For me, I feel like he can play for teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid, he is a player with the ability to play at the highest level. I feel like he can play in top competitions like the Champions League. If I remember well, the last South African we had competing a such a level was Benni McCarthy, ” Memela said as reported by Soccer Laduma.
“Then we had guys like Thulani Serero who played against Barcelona when he was still with Ajax (Amsterdam). and even scored. But since then, we haven’t had a player competing at such a big stage.
“It would be nice to see one of our own at that stage when watching football, and for me, that boy can get there. It’s good to see the progress he has been making, and I like how the Pirates coach is managing him in terms of how he is using him in the team.”
