Interest in Mokwena has surged following the Club World Cup.

Details: According to the iDiski Times portal, Tunisian Espérance’s right winger Elias Mokwena has attracted interest from the Russian Premier League.

The name of the club remains undisclosed, but Mokwena himself has repeatedly expressed a desire to move closer to Europe. Given the current state of the Russian championship—banned from all international federations and essentially functioning as an amateur league, with its teams isolated within the Russian federation—a transfer for the 25-year-old Mokwena could prove to be a disastrous decision for his career.

Last season, Mokwena made 38 appearances, netting 7 goals, and also featured in the Club World Cup, where Espérance finished third in a group alongside Chelsea, Los Angeles, and Flamengo.

According to Transfermarkt, the player’s market value is estimated at €750,000, with his current contract running until 2027.
