Mamelodi Sundowns have introduced the signing of Brazilian attacker Lucas Ribeiro Costa from Belgian second division membership SK Beveren forward of the 2023-2024 PSL season.
The 24-year-old made 31 league appearances for Beveren and scored 11 instances because the membership completed runners-up to RWD Molenbeek who gained promotion to the Belgian Pro League final season.
The comparatively unknown attacking midfielder has spent the final 4 years in Belgium following a brief spell with French membership Valenciennes FC.
“I’m really excited to be here and I can’t wait to dance to the sound of the drum that encapsulates the yellow nation,” Costa stated in a brief message on the membership’s social media pages.
