Mamelodi Sundowns’ late bids for Jayden Adams rejected by Stellenbosch FC, according to iDiski Times.
Stellenbosch FC stood firm against Mamelodi Sundowns’ advances, decisively rejecting two late bids for their talented midfielder Jayden Adams. At just 22 years old, Adams has emerged as a standout player, having developed through Stellenbosch’s youth academy. He joined the club as a teenager when they were still competing in the lower divisions, and his growth within the team has been remarkable.
Jayden Adams: Rising star
Adams showcased his impressive skills as a key member of the Stellenbosch DStv Diski Challenge squad, playing a pivotal role in securing the DDC title and winning the NextGen competition two years ago. He made a splash in the senior team with his debut against Chippa United in August 2020, quickly establishing himself as a crucial player. Since then, Adams has amassed an impressive 109 appearances and scored six goals for the club.
His outstanding performances on the field didn’t go unnoticed; Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos recognized his talent and selected him for the national squad that ultimately finished third at the Africa Cup of Nations. Adams made his international debut during a commanding 4-0 victory over Namibia, marking a significant milestone in his burgeoning career.
Mamelodi Sundowns makes aggressive moves
This week, Mamelodi Sundowns took decisive action in their pursuit of Jayden Adams, launching a substantial late bid for the talented midfielder. However, Stellenbosch FC quickly rejected this initial offer, demonstrating their commitment to keeping their key players. Undeterred by the setback, Sundowns returned just two days later with an improved proposal, marking their fourth bid during this transfer window. Nevertheless, Stellenbosch remained steadfast in their decision, choosing to hold on to Adams and other essential players as the transfer window approaches its closing deadline.
Despite the transfer speculation, Adams has secured a spot in Stellenbosch’s squad set to travel to the DRC this Friday. The team will face AS Vita Club in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round, where Adams will aim to showcase his talent on the continental stage.
