Mamelodi Sundowns are exploring a potential transfer move for Lamontville Golden Arrows striker Junior Dion before the transfer window closes on September 22.
The report comes directly from kickoff.com, revealing that conversations are already taking place between the involved parties.
Dion’s Impact Against Sundowns
Dion recently stood out during the MTN8 semi-finals. He managed to score in both legs of the tie against the Tshwane giants:
- He scored the winning goal in the first leg, giving Arrows a -0 lead.
- He scored again in the second leg in Durban, though Arrows fell -2.
- Mamelodi Sundowns FC advanced to the final on away goals following a 3-2 aggregate result.
Sundowns will now face Orlando Pirates in the final on October 10. Dion’s ability to consistently find the net against coach Miguel Cardoso’s side has put him directly on the club’s radar.
Tactical Context and Squad Depth
Sundowns face a demanding calendar across domestic, continental, and global competitions. Reinforcing the attack remains a central theme for the reigning CAF Champions League holders.
The current striking options at Chloorkop include:
- Cassius Mailula
- Brayan Leon
- Iqraam Rayners
- Lebo Mothiba
Adding Dion would provide physical depth and tactical variation. If the move materializes, it would mark another transaction between the two clubs. Sundowns recently signed Siyanda Ndlovu from Arrows ahead of the current campaign.
