Zungu edging closer to Wydad move

Bongani Zungu is edging closer to a move to Wydad Casablanca in Morocco to reunite with coach Rulani Mokwena. The 32-year-old arrived in North Africa last week to start training with The Red Castle as contract talks continue.

Zungu has been without a club since his departure from Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of last season. He was also linked with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. However, it looks like he will become the third player that was previously on the books of Sundowns to join Mokwena at Wydad, following in the footsteps of Cassius Mailula and Abdelmounaim Boutouil.

Zungu, who has also been on the books of Scottish giants Rangers FC has already started training with Wydad under the watchful eye of Mokwena who is looking to bolster his midfield with the experienced campaigner.
