Mamelodi Sundowns FC's Brayan Leon has made a stunning start to his career at the club. The 25-year-old Colombian striker has scored 15 goals in 26 appearances since joining in January.

What's behind his success?

Leon's ability to play in the box and score goals has impressed club legend Daniel 'Mambush' Mudau. Mudau said Leon doesn't want to do a lot of things, he just wants to touch the ball and get it into the net.

How does he compare to other strikers?

Mambush believes Leon is a traditional striker who focuses on scoring goals, rather than dropping into midfield. | Category | Stat | | --- | --- | | Goals | 15 | | Assists | 2 | | Appearances | 26 |
