The 24-year-old has recently been subject to a South African club record transfer to Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion, with both parties still in negotiation before completing the deal.

Zwane feels the young attacker is ready to test himself abroad and improve his performance even further, despite labelling him as a mature footballer.

‘Personally, I feel it’s time for him to go. I feel he’s done a lot for the team, he has shown that he’s ready to play overseas,’ Zwane told KickOff.com.

‘The way he plays, you can see he has matured and I think he can still go and learn more that side and improve his football to another level.

‘In football, these things happen and we need to adjust. We still have other players in those positions, so obviously we will cope.’
