Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler has confirmed that striker Khanyisa Mayo will remain with the team next season.

Mayo has been linked to both Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns since last season.

The 25-year-old striker has scored 10 goals after 24 appearances for the Citizens this season.

Mayo finished as a joint-top goalscorer alongside Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile in the DStv Premiership last season, with both having finished on 12 goals.

Tinkler has assured Cape Town City fans that their talismanic attacker will remain with the club next season as speculation continues to mount regarding his future.

“Mayo has a four-year contract with the club. Mayo will be here until someone offers a stupid amount of money.

"But Mayo is part and parcel of the team, he will be here next season - that I can guarantee you. He is not going anywhere,” Tinkler told journalists after the DStv Premiership match against Orlando Pirates in Cape Town on Wednesday.

City have already signed midfielder Sibusiso Ziba from Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit JDR Stars, as reported by this publication.
