Sundowns target Adams scores for Stellies

Adams scored in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Stade Malien to help Stellies reach the CAF Confederation Cup quarterfinals. The Mgosi squad was alerted last December of the Brazilians’ need to reinforce their midfield and the fact that Adams was their number one target.

Adams, who was part of the Bafana team that won a bronze medal at the Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire last year, was also on the wanted list of Kaizer Chiefs and a few unnamed European clubs.

Masandawana had already tried to sign Adams
