Mamelodi Sundowns have been urged to strengthen their attack, with former goalkeeper Joseph Sibiya identifying a striker he believes could help the club address its goalscoring concerns this season.
For a team known for dominating possession and creating scoring opportunities, failing to convert those chances can be frustrating. Sundowns have the quality to trouble opposition defences, but questions remain about whether they have the clinical finisher needed to make their attacking efforts count consistently.
Sibiya believes bringing in the right striker could help the Brazilians become more effective in front of goal as they continue pursuing their ambitions on the domestic and continental stages.
The former Sundowns goalkeeper recently shared his views on the club's squad needs, pointing to the importance of having a striker who can take advantage of the opportunities created by the team.
Sundowns' attacking style often allows them to put opposition defenders under pressure, but creating chances is only part of the job. The ability to convert those opportunities, particularly in tight matches, can ultimately determine the outcome.
Sibiya's recommendation has therefore added to the discussion about whether the club needs to bring in another forward to improve its attacking options.
A football analyst who spoke exclusively to Briefly News also shared his perspective on Sibiya's recommendation and Sundowns' current squad concerns.
The discussion has highlighted the challenge of finding a striker who can fit into the team's playing style while providing the finishing touch that supporters expect.
With Sundowns regularly competing for major trophies, the pressure to deliver results remains high. Even when a team creates numerous chances, failing to capitalise on them can prove costly against well-organised opponents.
The debate around Sundowns' striking options raises an important question: does the club need a new striker, or should it focus on getting more goals out of the forwards already in its squad?
For supporters, the priority is clear: they want to see their team turn its attacking dominance into goals and victories.
Sibiya's recommendation has offered one possible solution, but whether Sundowns will act on his advice remains to be seen.
For now, attention will remain on the club's ability to improve its finishing and maintain its competitive edge as the season progresses.
