Costa, 26, is earning widespread plaudits this season, despite showing his quality in his debut campaign, there are already discussions that he’s now one of the best in the league.
With Maema playing alongside him over the past year and a half, he’s seen first-hand in matches and training what the Brazilian, who was lured to Sundowns from Belgian club SK Beveren, is capable of.
“Lucas is a top player, something we have arguably never seen in this country, you know he possesses a great finish you know, a left foot that that you can learn from,” Maema said.
