Junior – Downs Star Reminds Me Of Romario

iDiski TV analyst Junior Khanye has heaped praise on Mamelodi Sundowns forward Brayan León saying he reminds him of Brazil legend Romario.

The Colombian completed a brace in Sundwons’ 2-0 win over Rulani Mokwena’s MC Alger to finish second in Group C of the CAF Champions League and qualify for the knockout phase of the competition.

The brace also took the 25-year-old’s goal tally in Sundowns colours to four in all competitions since his arrival in January.

Khanye likened León to former Barcelona and Brazil star Romario adding that the youngster is still going to trouble defenders.

“León is a dangerous player,” said Khanye on iDiski TV.

“That guy is still going to hurt a lot of players. I wanted to see him from when he starts a season but he’s already proving himself. A quality player doesn’t need 20 games to prove himself you just see him.

“He’s a striker that reminds me of the Brazilian Romario, the height, how dynamic and mobile he is.”
