Lyle Lakay – $240k
In September 2021, there was an uproar on social media because Kaizer Chiefs left-back Sifiso Hlanti had been selected ahead of Mamelodi Sundown’s Lyle Lakay. Many pundits have called him the best left-back in the country and deserved a call-up. Even fans of the Chiefs cried foul!
According to Mamelodi Sundowns, Lakay has a deadly left foot that also has the ability to convert free kicks. It makes him a constant threat as a left-back and it is a skill set that marks him apart from other players in the position.
