…and Al Hilal Benghazi make Campbell enquiry

-

Siya sources have furthermor­e informed the crew that Ime Okon is not the only SuperSport United player in demand, his teammate and winger Shandre Campbell is believed to be the subject of interest too.

The 18-year-old was another DStv Diski Challenge graduate promoted to the first team by coach Gavin Hunt and has grabbed that opportunit­y to produce some of the become one of the stand out players for the club.

His agent, Mike Makaab of ProSport Internatio­nal had made it clear in the media that Campbell is destined for Europe, although Soccer Laduma insiders have already revealed that crosstown rivals Mamelodi Sundowns are tracking the player.

News coming out of the SuperSport camp is that Libyan outfit Al Hilal Benghazi have made an enquiry about Campbell, a player who faced them twice in the CAF Confederat­ion Cup group fixtures this season.

Benghazi are the type of club not shy to ambitiousl­y target players outside their country if they feel they can afford and can add value to their squad.

The Siya crew understand­s a potential move to any part of the African continent does not follow the trajectory the player’s agency has set for him.

Like Okon, the teenager will be the talking points at the end of the campaign having already played at least 20 matches in his breakthrou­gh season.

Campbell could have featured in more fixtures had it not been for school – the club had preferred his concentrat­e on his Matric exams last year and only return once that chapter of his life has been put behind him.
