Marcelo Allende says he is can take his "game to the next level" with Mamelodi Sundowns.
The 23-year-old Chile midfielder has made a strong start to his Brazilians career.
Allende has netted twice in five games in all competitions to help his side sit on top of the DStv Premiership standings after eight matches.
The talented midfielder was signed from Uruguay’s Montevideo City Torque while he has previously spent time training with English Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Speaking on Thursday, Allende said on IOL: “Sundowns is the best team in Africa. I want to win trophies and that is why I came here.
“Obviously when I was there, as much as I trained with Arsenal, but I never actually played a single game with them and that is something that happened in my career.
“With the decision to come this side its difficult to differentiate between Arsenal and Sundowns because we all know that the Premier League has high intensity and speed.
“It helps me this side because we know globally African players are among the fastest, they are talented. So, by being here, I can actually take my game to the next level.”
