Mamelodi Sundowns announced on Wednesday afternoon that the club has secured the services of Emiliano Tade from AmaZulu.
It has been reported over the past few weeks that Downs coach Pitso Mosimane was interested in the Argentine, but AmaZulu insisted that their star forward will be going nowhere.
AmaZulu, who beat Downs on Tuesday evening in the Absa Premiership, finally caved as the Brazilians announced the signing of Tade through their twitter account.

Tade will provide Mosimane with added firepower up front as they look to challenge both in the league and in the Caf Champions league.
The forwards arrival fills up Sundowns’ fourth foreigner spot joining the likes of Ricardo Nascimento, Gaston Sirino and Jose Ali Meza.
Hands ? for our new signing Masandawana!
