Ouseb, Nauseb linked to Sundowns

NAMIBIAN internationals Mohamed Ouseb and Robert Nauseb are likely to turn out for South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) side Mamelodi Sundowns next season.

Sundowns coach, Paul Dolezar told The Namibian Sport from Pretoria yesterday that the Brave Warriors duo were part of his plans, but he was more certain about Ouseb. Dolezar said Ouseb was on his list of new players to join the club but certain issues needed to be sorted out with his agent.”We need strong and quality players and Ouseb is in my plans.Our lawyer Jose Ferreira is currently busy with the player’s agent to finalise any outstanding issues,” he said.Dolezar added: “Ted Dumitru at Kaizer Chiefs does not want him, but we want him.So we will get him.”Ouseb, who is currently clubless, trained with Johannesburg-based Chiefs about a week ago, but was not satisfied with the offer made to him.The former Warriors defender turned midfielder played for Norwegian first division club Lyn Oslo last year before leaving for unspecified mutual reasons.Regarding Nauseb, the former Kaizer Chiefs coach said he was interested in him, but was concerned about his injury.Nauseb, who plays for PSL side Ajax Cape Town, recently went for an operation on his toe, which will reportedly keep him out of action for at least four months.”It will be good to have him at Sundowns, but we are not sure of his condition at this stage,” said Dolezar.Nauseb could not be reached for comment on the progress of his recovery.Both Nauseb and Ouseb played for Chiefs in the past, and if signed up by Sundowns, they will join their former Namibian countryman, Ronnie Kanalelo.Kanalelo swapped his Namibian passport for a South African one about two years ago in an attempt to get a regular place in the team.A former Namibian at Sundowns, Mogale Naruseb, was not considered by Sundowns for the 2003/4 season, and ultimately returned to Namibia.The Namibian Sport established that the former Brave Warriors winger is currently at Gobabis and is not interested in playing football at this stage.After his release from Sundowns, Naruseb told The Namibian Sport that he was interested in playing overseas.Dolezar said Ouseb was on his list of new players to join the club but certain issues needed to be sorted out with his agent.”We need strong and quality players and Ouseb is in my plans.Our lawyer Jose Ferreira is currently busy with the player’s agent to finalise any outstanding issues,” he said.Dolezar added: “Ted Dumitru at Kaizer Chiefs does not want him, but we want him.So we will get him.”Ouseb, who is currently clubless, trained with Johannesburg-based Chiefs about a week ago, but was not satisfied with the offer made to him.The former Warriors defender turned midfielder played for Norwegian first division club Lyn Oslo last year before leaving for unspecified mutual reasons.Regarding Nauseb, the former Kaizer Chiefs coach said he was interested in him, but was concerned about his injury.Nauseb, who plays for PSL side Ajax Cape Town, recently went for an operation on his toe, which will reportedly keep him out of action for at least four months.”It will be good to have him at Sundowns, but we are not sure of his condition at this stage,” said Dolezar.Nauseb could not be reached for comment on the progress of his recovery.Both Nauseb and Ouseb played for Chiefs in the past, and if signed up by Sundowns, they will join their former Namibian countryman, Ronnie Kanalelo.Kanalelo swapped his Namibian passport for a South African one about two years ago in an attempt to get a regular place in the team.A former Namibian at Sundowns, Mogale Naruseb, was not considered by Sundowns for the 2003/4 season, and ultimately returned to Namibia.The Namibian Sport established that the former Brave Warriors winger is currently at Gobabis and is not interested in playing football at this stage.After his release from Sundowns, Naruseb told The Namibian Sport that he was interested in playing overseas.
