South African international, Ayanda Patosi, has been linked with a
possible return to the DStv Premiership, with the player spotted at a
club’s home match on Sunday.
Patosi, who hails from Khayelitsha, has been playing abroad since the
start of 2020, having joined Foolad FC in Iran from FC Baniyas in the
United Arab Emirates. The 30-year-old recently parted ways with the
Iranian side, leaving him unattached.
Speculation of a return to his former club Cape Town City has been
swirling, with Patosi spotted in attendance at a Citizens’ home match on
Sunday. After the match, the African Soccer Development graduate was seen
in the company of the team’s players and staff, sparking rumours that he
may be close to rejoining the club for a third spell.
According to sources, a deal is not being ruled out for Patosi to join
Eric Tinkler’s side, with the player having spent some time training with
the team on his return from overseas. “There is nothing official at the
moment but, yes, the player is around. But anything is possible in
football and let’s wait and see,” said the source.
