Mamelodi Sundowns, one of South Africa’s premier football clubs, has added a touch of Brazilian flair to their squad with the signing of talented attacker Lucas Ribeiro Costa. The 24-year-old joins Sundowns from SK Beveren, bringing with him an impressive track record and a wealth of skills that will enhance the team’s attacking prowess. This signing marks Sundowns’ commitment to assembling a formidable squad ahead of the upcoming 2023/24 season.

Lucas Ribeiro Costa: A Versatile Attacking Force

Lucas Ribeiro Costa, known for his versatility as an attacking midfielder and forward, caught the attention of Sundowns with his outstanding performances in the Challenger Pro League. During the previous season, Ribeiro showcased his abilities by netting 11 goals and providing eight assists, establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with on the field. With a left foot that possesses finesse and accuracy, Ribeiro is set to become a valuable asset to the Sundowns’ attacking unit.

Boosting Sundowns’ Squad Depth

The addition of Lucas Ribeiro Costa further strengthens Mamelodi Sundowns’ squad, which has already seen the arrival of two other notable signings. Argentine midfielder Junior Mendieta, coming off an exceptional campaign with Stellenbosch FC, and versatile Lesiba Nku, formerly of Marumo Gallants, have also joined the club in preparation for the upcoming season. These acquisitions underline Sundowns’ commitment to assembling a competitive team capable of achieving success on both local and international stages.

Pre-Season Preparations and Netherlands Trip

Lucas Ribeiro Costa will join his new teammates in Rustenburg for pre-season training, where they will fine-tune their skills and build team chemistry. Following their preparations, the squad will embark on a trip to the Netherlands, where they will participate in four additional matches, including a highly anticipated showdown against Eredivisie side NEC Breda. This international exposure will provide Sundowns with valuable experience and the opportunity to test their mettle against renowned opponents.

Excitement in the Sundowns Camp

Mamelodi Sundowns took to social media to announce the signing of Lucas Ribeiro Costa, sharing a video that showcases the Brazilian’s skills and expressing their enthusiasm for the arrival of the talented attacker.
