Agent Mike Makaab has commented on what Shandre Campbell's performance in his first start in Belgium could mean for him going forward.
The 19-year-old bagged a brace over the weekend for Club NXT, where he has been loaned out to by parent outfit Club Brugge, and took his tally for the season so far to three goals.

The former SuperSport United attacker has only played 97 minutes of football and has shown his quality in front of goal, which should please Brugge. Club NXT is Brugge's reserve side, competing in the second tier of Belgian football.
"Brugge have a very specific project in the way they blood their youngsters. If you look at the young players they have produced - I think they have a young player that is being targeted by Leipzig at the moment - Brugge have a very specific project. I think they will look at it from all angles," Makaab revealed to the Siya crew.
"They will look at mental strength, physical strength, ability which we know he's got. I think it's about taking the right steps at the right time. But I am super excited about his future. I think he has scored three goals in a total of 90 minutes of football. The goals he scores ooze quality. He has a gifted left foot and he is a lovely young man."

Makaab further commented on the big role Campbell's family has played in his career, even more so now that he is abroad.
"He has had enormous support from his family and that is so important. When you have positive consolidation and positive reinforcement from those around you, it can only add value to your life."
