Royal AM accept offer from Sekhukhune for wantaway Bafana striker Letsoalo

Royal AM have accepted an undisclosed fee for Bafana Bafana striker Victor Letsoalo from Limpopo outfit Sekhukhune United, the KwaZulu-Natal outfit revealed on Thursday.

The 29-year-old moved to with the rest of his Bloemfontein Celtic team-mates when Shaun Mkhize bought the Premier Soccer League status of the Free State side last year.

However, the player has further missed being closer to his hometown and requested a move to a club close to Limpopo.

"Last week the player approached management requesting to play for a team closer to his home (Limpopo Province)," Royal AM revealed in a statement.

"The President and the Chairman together with the Board members of Royal AM agreed to his request. 

"Subsequent to this discussion, Sekhukhune United FC wrote us a letter enquiring about the services of Letsoalo, and later submitted a written offer which the club accepted."

Meanwhile, Royal AM further iterated that they have never received offers of R20 million for the striker from Kaizer Chiefs.

"The media rumours that Kaizer Chiefs or any other team in the Premiership was pursuing the Bafana Bafana striker with a prize tag of R20 MILLION are far from the truth.

"We have a good working relationship with Kaizer Chiefs and all other clubs in the Premier Soccer League. Had we received any written offer(s) from any club we would have entertained it. 

"As a club, we are not going to stand, deny or stop any player that is requesting a move to another club that has submitted a written offer."
