Ethiopia Bunna striker Abubaker traveled to South African Sundown

Ethiopia Bunna gave its blessing for their prized striker Abubaker Naser to have a two weeks trial with South African giant Mamelodi Sundown. It is disclosed Ethiopia Bunna covered all expenses for the players two weeks stay in Pretoria.
Though the Ethiopian national team returned home early from the ongoing Cameroon Nations Cup final, the striker who won last season Ethiopian Premier League top scorers award with 24 goals in to his name appeared to impress the scouts who contacted the club on behalf of South African defending champion and current league leaders Mamelodi Sundown.
Once Abubaker ends his two weeks trial in success, the transfer negotiation will take place between the two clubs for the striker has a four year remaining contract with Ethiopia Bunna. Sources close to the club suggest that Ethiopia Bunna is more than happy to give away the striker in exchange for good money for the club. It is rumored to face a financial constraint despite signing a sponsorship agreement with Bunna Bank recently.
With the suspended league season to resume over the weekend, target man Abubaker is no more available in the coming three matches against Hawassa, Adama and Addis Ababa City.
If things go smooth and Abubaker land a contract, he becomes the third Ethiopian Footballer to play in South African league next to Fikru Tefera and current national team skipper Getaneh Kebede.
