Vuyo Letlapa is being linked with a move from South African side Sekhukhune United to French club USL Dunkerque, with the young left-back reportedly attracting interest from Ligue 2.
The 22-year-old defender, currently valued at €500k, is the subject of transfer speculation suggesting Dunkerque are monitoring his situation in the Betway Premiership. The reported probability of a move is listed as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, remain at a very early and uncertain stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
Letlapa is contracted to Sekhukhune, but publicly available data does not specify when his deal is due to expire, leaving open the possibility that he could move on in the near future or even edge towards free-agent status if no extension is agreed. That uncertainty is likely to fuel further rumours as clubs in Europe continue to scout emerging talent from South Africa’s top flight.
A South Africa-born left-back, Letlapa joined Sekhukhune United from Jomo Cosmos ahead of the 2024–25 season, staying within his home country’s league structure but stepping up in profile. Primarily deployed as a defender on the left, he has built a reputation as an energetic full-back, and his rising valuation reflects a rapid upward curve: from €150k in January 2025 to €350k in May, before reaching €500k by December 2025.
He currently represents Sekhukhune United FC domestically, and his progress in the Betway Premiership appears to have alerted recruiters in France’s second tier. That exposure, combined with his age and positional profile, makes him a plausible target for a club like USL Dunkerque looking to add relatively affordable defensive depth.
If a move to Ligue 2 does materialise, it could mark a significant step in Letlapa’s career trajectory, offering a gateway into European football and a platform to enhance both his reputation and long-term potential.
