Having already demonstrated what he is about on the pitch this past weekend, Mamelodi Sundowns star Abubaker Nasir is just as revered off the field as well. Here's a look.
The story
Some exciting times can be expected at Chloorkop following an impressive display from their Ethiopian sensation on his second appearance for the club. The 22-year-old shined on the biggest stage in Mzansi as he scored a stunning individual goal against a big rival, Kaizer Chiefs.
While Downs is also anticipating the arrival of another foreign talent, it is time for a closer look at the life of their newest African star before he arrived on South African shores.

Rising star or proven talent
Perhaps surprising for some, Nasir boasts a big reputation in his home country as he is celebrated for his immense footballing abilities and has become an idol at the tender age of 22. The former Ethiopian Coffee SC attacker has already won 21 caps for the national team and scored five goals since his 2019 debut as a teenager.
Furthermore, he boasts an incredible amount of individual awards as he has been a standout out player in the Ethiopian Premier League for the last couple of seasons before being spotted by Bafana Ba Style.
