|June 26, 2025
THE pre-season player transfer window comes with performance analysis by numbers as teams look to offload and strengthen their arsenals for the upcoming season.
For foreign players, this is usually means a great deal, with the Premier Soccer League (PSL) having foreign-player quotas in place.
So, Independent Media looked at the best performing foreign nationals from the PSL's 2024/2025 Premiership season.

The 30-year-old left fullback was yet again one of the best, if not the best, in his position in the previous season.
His closest competition comes from the Zimbabwean-born Divine Lunga, who plays in the same position for Mamelodi Sundowns.
However Lunga, only became a regular towards the end of the season, and as a result played only 10 league games.
