With a flurry of new signings joining Mamelodi Sundowns this season, the club is believed to be set to loan out several players, including midfielder Lesiba Nku, the Siya crew has been informed.
Sources close to both the club and the player have indicated that the Brazilians want to provide certain players with opportunities for more game time through loan moves.

An insider added that the technical team has advised management to consider loaning out the former Marumo Gallants midfielder to keep him active following his recent recovery from injury.
"There are a few wingers who are currently doing well in his position and that's why the club is looking at loaning him out so that he has more game time. Sundowns know that there are clubs who will be interested in having a player of his calibre in their squads and that's why they want to loan him out," the Siya source stated.
A second insider noted the intense competition Nku faces from fellow wingers like Lebogang Maboe, Kobamelo Kodisang, Thapelo Morena, and young talent Kutlwano Letlhaku. Given this situation, the club is likely to believe that a loan could be the best solution as Nku continues his recovery.

"He recently recovered from injury and it could take time to break into a team with all those quality wingers and that's why the club feels a loan to a club where he will play more regularly would be the best solution at the moment. So this could either happen in January or at the end of the season as the club is looking at options," the second source stated.
Soccer Laduma contacted Sundowns for comment but the club had not responded by the time this report was published.
