Pitso Mosimane breaks silence on George Maluleka after Kaizer Chiefs confirm transfer

However, after securing a hard-fought 1-0 win over the Cape Town-based outfit, that takes them four points behind the Soweto giants with a game in hand, Mosimane neither confirmed nor denied the statement from the league leaders.

"No, I don't want to talk about George Maluleka, Sundowns must speak about George Maluleka," he said.

"I'm not Sundowns, I'm the coach, if I'm Sundowns, then I do everything, so let Sundowns announce George Maluleka.

"Until Sundowns announce George Maluleka, then it can be official - at the moment it's a rumour.

"Do I want to be a spokesperson for Kaizer Chiefs guys, I wish I could tell you, I need to wait for my team, with all due respect, I think you understand."

Mosimane's side face Orlando Pirates in their next league game which could take them one point off Chiefs in the title race.
