Speaking at the PSL Awards in Sandton on Monday night‚ Hunt said the 19-year-old forward, who won the Absa Premiership Young Player of the Season award, would spend three weeks at an unnamed club in Portugal.
“He’s going overseas this week – we’re sending him to Portugal. They’ll have a look at him there and let him train there for about three weeks, which is good. He’s got about a three-week trial before the start of the season‚ and hopefully‚ please God‚ he makes it,” said Hunt.
