South African midfielder Lazola Maku has been linked with a move from Siwelele FC to Austrian Bundesliga club SV Ried.

Maku, 19, plays as a defensive midfielder and is currently with Siwelele FC in the Betway Premiership. The reported interest would see him move from South Africa’s top flight to Austria’s Bundesliga.
