Shalulile has now also equalled Daniel ‘Mambush’ Mudau’s record, KickOff reported. Shalulile has scored 20 goals, two seasons in a row for Sundowns, a feat not accomplished since Mudau did it two decades ago.

As reported by Sowetan LIVE, Mudau also backed Shalulile to break his other goalscoring record, having scored 110 goals for the Brazilians during his career. Mudau’s 110 goals is the second-highest tally in the Premier Soccer League era, an achievement he shares with Mabhuti Khenyeza. Siyabonga Nomvete holds the record with a massive 123 goals scored in the PSL.

While Shalulile is still far off from that total, there are records he can still break this season.

The most goals scored in a single season in the PSL is 25, a record held by Collins Mbesuma.

Mbesuma also holds the record for most goals in a season across all competitions with 35.

Shalulile has 15 goals in the PSL and 20 across all competition. With Sundowns still competing on three fronts, the Namibian striker has plenty of chances to set a new record.

Mamelodi Sundown's Peter Shalulile named most valuable player in the Premier Soccer League

Mamelodi Sundowns' Peter Shalulile has ended the year on another high after being named the most valuable player in the Premier Soccer League. The Namibian striker was instrumental in the Brazilian's success the past season and helped to guide them to another league title.

Shalulile had a stellar season with Sundowns, winning the 2020/21 PSL Footballer of the Year and Players' Player of the Season awards, KickOff reported. Shalulile scored 13 goals in the DSTV Premiership in just 18 games. He scored 23 goals in all competitions.

According to Transfer Market Shalulile is valued at R28.99 million. His teammate at Mamelodi Sundowns, Themba Zwane, finished as the second most valuable player in the PSL. Zwane is valued at R27.06 million.
