Is a new chapter close? Lille and Bayer enter the race for Mofokeng

Young Union Saint-Gilloise forward Relebohile Mofokeng has become one of the most sought-after transfer targets of the autumn, with French club Lille and Bayer Leverkusen now keeping tabs on him.

Details: According to respected insider Sacha Tavolieri, the 22-year-old’s rapid rise in the Belgian league has attracted scouts from Europe’s leading competitions. Lille’s management have added the South African to their priority shortlist for attacking reinforcements, while German champions Bayer Leverkusen have already made an official enquiry and are regularly monitoring his performances.

Operating as a second striker, Mofokeng immediately adapted to European football following his high-profile move from Orlando Pirates this summer. The versatile forward has already scored five goals and provided four assists for the Brussels-based side, making him the team’s main attacking force in the current campaign.

It is worth noting that Relebohile Mofokeng was regarded as the biggest gem in South Africa’s Premier Division during his time at Orlando Pirates, while his consistent production in the Belgian Pro League has cemented his status as a leading creative force for the Bafana Bafana national team.
