One of Orlando Pirates' key players, striker Evidence Makgopa, has found himself in the spotlight of both European and North African clubs. A team from England is showing particular interest in the 24-year-old forward, which could spell major personnel losses for the South African giants.
The forward has already played more than 140 matches in the South African Premier Division, scoring 31 goals and providing 12 assists for Orlando Pirates and his former club, Baroka. Now, his name is surfacing not only in connection with English football, but also in transfer rumors involving Belgium, Turkey, and clubs from North Africa.
"For now, the main focus is on the English club, but there are also offers from North African teams. It's too early to name names, but the interest is definitely there," reports Soccer Laduma.
It’s worth noting that in the recently concluded season, the South African national team forward scored 5 goals in the Premier Division, struck twice in the domestic cup (including in the final against Kaizer Chiefs), and also registered 1 goal in the CAF Champions League.
