Mofokeng linked with Premier League move
Chelsea and Brighton are reportedly interested in the services of the 21-year old attacking star.
Bafana Bafana star Relebohile Mofokeng, a 21-year-old former Orlando Pirates playmaker, is attracting interest from several top European clubs. According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Chelsea, and Brighton are closely monitoring the young South African.
Mofokeng has had a stellar start to the season with his new club, Belgian side Union St Gilloise. He scored two impressive goals in South Africa's 5-0 victory over Eritrea in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying tournament. Brighton might be a more likely destination for Mofokeng, as Union St Gilloise owner Tony Bloom is a minority shareholder in the club. Brighton previously signed Bafana forward Percy Tau and loaned him to Union.
