Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates trailed a Bafana star for the whole of winter before he opted for another challenge. Now he’s wanted in Belgium.
Mokwana wanted in Europe?
Esperance and former Sekhukhune winger Elias Mokwana is now a regular for Hugo Broos in the Bafana side. According to Soccer-Laduma, European scouts watched him in South Africa’s resounding win over Congo. The 25-year-old now has four caps for his country. He moved to Esperance in August for a fee of around R7 million. Sekhukhune could earn a sell-on clause figure if he moves elsewhere for a larger fee.
Orlando Pirates star has new admirers in Europe, January offers are forthcoming
Monnapule Saleng has started 2024-2025 in fine form, scoring four goals across all competitions. According to Soccer-Laduma, Belgian Jupiter Pro League side Standard Liege has taken notice. It’s not the first time European sides have looked at the talented wide attacker.
Kaizer Chiefs are excited about a new Rolls Royce
Amakhosi’s technical team have uncovered another gem. His name is Royce Malatji and he seems to be a player capable of playing several positions. The most talented youngsters often can. With a name like Royce, perhaps he’s destined for the top.
“He is just 16 years old but he is very good. He can play at right back, central defence, right-wing or even as a central midfielder. It doesn’t matter where he plays – he is just good!,” the Siya crew stated on SoccerLaduma.
Pirates’ next half dozen matches
The Sea Robbers must wait until later this month to resume their quest to win the Betway Premiership. They’ve started with three wins from three, so the signs are good. Upcoming are three league fixtures on the bounce and then a tricky trip to Algeria where they could be on a collision course with former Cape Town City man Khanyisa Mayo. Caf Champions League holders Al Ahly visit Orlando Stadium in early December in a crunch group clash which you simply can’t miss.
