Shalulile boosted by hefty tag
Almost every club has a star player on whom they rest their hopes of achieving success.
But when that player moves on to greater heights, he often gets a hefty price tag placed on him to fend off interest from other clubs.
This is the case with Highlands Park striker Peter Shalulile, on whom club boss Larry Brookstone has put a R30m price tag.
Following his impressive season at Highlands, Shalulile is believed to have attracted interest from Mamelodi Sundowns — but it seems they are not willing to pay that sum. .
Asked how that was affecting him, the 27-year-old said he would take that as a positive as the “I club don ’valued t want him to involve higher. myself in politics but any player will feel good if he hears something like that [that he is worth R30m],” he said.
“This means I must continue to work hard and hope for the best in the future.”
The Namibian international became an increasingly important member of the Lions of the North this season.
He has scored 12 goals and registered two assists in 24 appearances in this campaign.
He remains upbeat that he will produce the same performance when the PSL resumes.
“I’m positive, I’m working hard now to keep the same rhythm I had before the lockdown and I believe that everything will get back to where I was when we come back,” Shalulile said.
“Now I am targeting 20 goals and I believe that I can achieve that looking at the remaining games. It is just a matter of believing in myself and this is what I am doing now.
“I have noticed that anything you want is possible to achieve. It has been a great season and I am happy.”
