Speaking to iDiski Times, he mentioned the three players that have impressed him at Pirates and reckons Sesane has a similar style of play as him.
“There’s a couple of players. First one obviously is [Relebohile] Mofokeng, the way he has grown from the first season until now. I think he has grown so much and quick as a young player,” Jele said.
“To be a player that he is at 20 years old, he managed to risk it the way he is risking in the field of play. He’s so smart. He is very smart in the way he plays. Everyone enjoys watching him. Normally, you find this thing when someone is around 25, 26, but Mofokeng, the way he’s grown, was too quick and it’s unbelievable.
