Top-flight interest reportedly grows in Lerumo Lions striker Ntuthuko Mlotshwa

Top-flight interest reportedly grows in Lerumo Lions striker Ntuthuko Mlotshwa

The 23-year-old forward has been in fine form since arriving at Lerumo Lions at the start of the 2025/26 season and is already among the leading scorers in the second tier.

Mlotshwa currently sits second on the Championship goalscoring charts after finding the net six times in the opening phase of the campaign.

Originally from KwaZulu-Natal, Mlotshwa made the move to Lerumo Lions after a prolific season with Middelburg United in the ABC Motsepe League, where he impressed with his consistency in front of goal.

He has since adapted seamlessly to life in the MFC, becoming a key figure in the Lions' attacking setup.

According to Kickoff, sources close to the situation have indicated that the former Jomo Cosmos striker has been offered to a number of top-flight clubs, including AmaZulu FC, Chippa United and Orbit College FC, as teams look to strengthen their attacking options.

Despite interest from the Premiership, Lerumo Lions are believed to be reluctant to part ways with their leading scorer midway through the season.

While the club is prepared to consider formal offers, any potential transfer is expected to be delayed until the end of the campaign.

Lions are currently positioned eighth on the MFC standings, five points outside the promotion play-off places, and see Mlotshwa as central to their ambitions for the remainder of the season.
