Former Mamelodi Sundowns defender Jethro Mohlala has backed the club to sign Ghana all-time highest goalscorer Asamoah Gyan to beef up their strikeforce.

The 43-year-old congratulated the club and coach Pitso Moismane after Sundowns successfully defended their crown this season.

Mohlala believes coach Mosimane will lead the club to further glory next season however he suggests the club sign a top striker to help the side ahead of next season.

“I am sure they will go out to the market and sign top players, what I like about Piso and the club is that they don’t look to scavenge for remains when it comes to talent like all the PSL clubs who look to sign in the PSL or South Africa,” he told Goal.com

“They scout all over the world and that means they are head and shoulders above the rest. I am sure there are players lined up."

“However, if I was part of the scouting department, I would sign Gyan and bring him on a one-year contract. He’s a top class striker and he can definitely set the PSL stage alight," he stated.

“I would sign him for his experience and then we will see how it goes, I like their scouting policy through."
