New signing Matias Esquivel eyes success with Mamelodi Sundowns

He is confident the move is a pivotal step forward in his football journey, after he previously showcased his skills with Club Atletico Lanus and contributed significantly to their impressive fourth-place finish in the 28-team Argentinian premier division last season.

Esquivel's unveiling came on deadline day of the PSL transfer window on 25 January, with the midfielder underscoring his belief that Sundowns' ambitions align seamlessly with his own career targets.

"I am very happy to be here, and joining this great club is the right step for my career," Esquivel shared with Sundowns' Digital Magazine.

"The opportunity to be a part of Mamelodi Sundowns is something I couldn't pass up. The club's ambition and recent successes are truly impressive, and I am eager to contribute to their continued achievements."

Expressing his adaptability and eagerness to integrate into the team's playing style, Esquivel affirmed, "Whether it's in attack or on the wings, I am ready to adapt and contribute wherever the team needs me.

"I look forward to being part of the team's exciting brand of football and making a positive impact during my time with the Yellow Nation."

Highlighting the warm welcome received from both the club and the fans, Esquivel praised the top-notch facilities in Chloorkop, while emphasising the professionalism and ambition the club embodies.

As Esquivel embarks on this new chapter with Sundowns, football enthusiasts anticipate witnessing the fusion of his skills with the team's dynamic play, and the midfielder is poised to play a crucial role in the Yellow Nation's pursuit of more success – particularly on the continental front.
