Bidvest Wits defender Sifiso Hlanti has attracted interest from overseas following his performances at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Hlanti very publicly shackled Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah in the recent Nations Cup last 16 clash against Egypt, which saw the Bafana Bafana left-back's stock rise.

KickOff.com has been reliably told the player has attracted interest from the United States in the MLS.

"Nashville SC from MLS have submitted a bid to sign Hlanti with a view to keep him at Bidvest Wits until December via a loan agreement, as their league campaign will only begin in the new year," a source reveals.

This website spoke to Hlanti's agent Sizwe Ntshangase, who did not want to make any comments on the reports and also requested the player to be given privacy.

"I can't comment on this because there's nothing concrete," he said. "I would like us to give the player privacy."
