15 chances in just four games! South African sensation tops the entire Europa League
Relebohile Mofokeng is taking European football by storm.
Details: According to FotMob, the 22-year-old Union Saint-Gilloise winger currently leads the entire UEFA Europa League in chances created this season. After four rounds of the 2026/27 competition, the South African international has produced an impressive 15 chances for his teammates, more than any other player in the tournament.
Mofokeng's closest challenger is Chiquinho, who has created 13 chances. Aleix García, Sebastian Szymański and Keito Nakamura follow with 12 each. The South African has therefore established himself as the competition's leading creator after the opening four matchdays.
The former Orlando Pirates star joined Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise in July 2026 and has wasted little time making an impact. He scored on his Europa League debut and later registered an assist as his team recorded three victories and one draw in their first four European matches.
Mofokeng is also representing South Africa at international level. He has joined the national team ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Kenya, with the first encounter scheduled for November 13.
It's worth noting that Mofokeng has played 318 minutes in four Europa League appearances this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist. According to FotMob, he is averaging an outstanding 4.2 chances created per 90 minutes.
