News coming through to Soccer Laduma is that Matsatsantsa a Pitori are believed to be inquiring about Golden Arrows winger Siyanda Mthanti with the intention of bringing him on board in January.
Sources close to both clubs have added that SuperSport have inquired about the 21-year-old Mthanti, and now it's up to Arrows to consider if they can let him go.
"You know SuperSport United are investing in young and up coming players and Siyanda (Mthanti) is one of those players. He is so versatile and SuperSport have known him from Arrows' DDC team and now that he is in the first team they were interested in bringing him to the team in January. There are areas which their technical team feels they need improving and wings is part of it. Hence the interest in Mthanti," the Siya source stated.

A second source stated that it will be difficult for Arrows to let him go as they also need him, especially this season.
"They promoted him because they wanted to use him. Coach Mabhuti Khenyeza believes in him very much and that's where the problem will be for SuperSport to get him. But you know, football is business so if the money is good and the talks have gone well then they could let him go. But yes, it's true SuperSport United are interested in him," the second source stated.
Soccer Laduma contacted both United and Arrows for comment, but there was no response at the time of preparing this story.
When contacted, his agent Steve Kapeluschnik could neither deny nor confirm the inquiry from SuperSport United, because he was not available to speak further.
"I'm traveling but the window is closed," Kapeluschnik said briefly to the Siya crew. Though, this publication is referring to a potential deal in January.
As the January transfer window approaches, the potential move of Mthanti to SuperSport United will be closely watched. Both clubs have their interests, and the outcome will depend on negotiations and the need of each team. Fans will be eager to see if Mthanti will make the switch and bolster SuperSport's squad for the remainder of the season.
