Sundowns are already the form team of the DStv Premiership, leading the log with a six point gap. Furthermore, they have three games in hand over their closest competitors, Cape Town City in second. Continentally, they have also excelled, having won the Inaugural African Football League late last year. Despite all of this dominance, they are not resting on their laurels when it comes to bolstering their squad.

Already during this transfer window, Sundowns have completed the signings of Zuko Mdunyelwa and Matias Esquivel. Those players are set to boost their right back and midfield stocks which are already overflowing. Up front they have the likes of Peter Shalulile and Ribeiro Costa but still sought the services of Lars Veldwijk. The move for the Bafana Bafana target man is believed to be withdrawn as reported earlier.

That has not stopped Sundowns from rigorously attempting to secure other targets though. Earlier on Friday morning, it was reported that they’re trying to sign Thembinkosi Lorch from Orlando Pirates. Now iDiski Times claims that the Brazilians have agreed to sign Matthews ahead of the second half of the season.
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS AGREE TERMS TO SIGN CHIEFS TARGET MATTHEWS!
“Meanwhile, as first called by SABC Sport, Sundowns have agreed terms with 23-year-old Matthews who was one of the standout players in the Allsvenskan last season with 11 goals and 10 assists in 33 games. The forward, who was one of the players who would have felt hard done by missing a place in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations squad, is said to be doing his medical in Denmark, about an hour away from his base in Sweden, as Sundowns look to speed up the process of a sensational deadline day move.” Wrote the publication.

Should Sundowns pull of the Matthews deal, it would send a dagger to the hearts of those associated with Chiefs. It was largely rumoured last year that Amakhosi saw the former Borussia Dortmund player as long-term replacement for Keagan Dolly. That, now looks to be unlikely.
