Fawaaz Basadiens name might be on everybodys lips right now, but hes not getting carried away by the hype as he focuses only on being at his best for Stellenbosch and Bafana Bafana.
Basadien has been on a high since the start of the season, helping Stellies to reach the MTN8 final and second round of the CAF Confederation Cup preliminaries. His top performances, which are a continuation of last season, havent gone unnoticed as they caught the eye of Bafana coach Hugo Broos and Kaizer Chiefs.
Broos has drafted the 27-year-old into his final squad for the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers against Uganda in Orlando on Friday (6pm) and away to South Sudan on Tuesday (3pm).
Chiefs, though, are yet to act on their interest in the left-back, with Stellies reportedly insisting that their talisman is not for sale.
Basadien is not allowing the hype around him to go to his head he knows that he has bigger fish to fry both at Bafana and Stellies.
