Opposition fans are already bracing themselves for the impact Mamelodi Sundowns striker Brayan Leon will have next season. The 25-year-old Colombian forward has had a phenomenal start to his South African football career, netting 15 goals across all competitions for Masandawana since joining in January.
Sundowns reportedly splashed out around $3.5 million, plus a sell-on clause, to lure Leon away from Independiente MedellΓn. He has quickly made a name for himself on the local stage, tormenting Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates with three goals combined against the two rivals.
Leon took his tally to new heights with a hat-trick against Swallows and then added another brace against TS Galaxy in Sundowns’ final league match of the season. His incredible scoring run has left many PSL fans worried about what could happen next season, with some fearing Leon could dominate the league and lead Sundowns to even more silverware.
The Colombian striker now has another chance to add to his tally when Mamelodi Sundowns host AS FAR in the first leg of their CAF Champions League clash this weekend.
## Concerns About Leon’s Dominance
Fans on social media have already reacted to Leon’s frightening form, with some opposition supporters hoping the striker secures an overseas move before next season begins. @AdvMagadze wrote: “Only joined in January but finished the season with 10 goals, we are in trouble.” @TinyikoNtlurhi joked: “He’s pulling a Ribeiro next season.” @gazuc15 pleaded: “I wish Sundowns can sell Brayan Leon, this guy is a monster. We can’t have another Ribeiro at Sundowns next season.” @Nkoskhodola_23 lamented: “We celebrated Ribeiro’s exit too early, without knowing they would buy another unknown Leon.”
## Leon’s Exceptional Form
Brayan Leon’s numbers are certainly impressive. With 15 goals in a short period, he’s caught the attention of fans and opponents alike. His consistency and ability to score crucial goals have made him a valuable asset for Mamelodi Sundowns.
