Orlando Pirates development coach Joseph Makhanya has backed a young Bucs star to not only earn a move to Europe, but also to shine in the new environment.
The 20-year-old winger has attracted interest from Spanish giants FC Barcelona and Scottish side Glasgow Rangers
Local football fans praised Mofokeng on social media and said the star is ready to play for the Catalan giants, Makhanya wants to see Mofokeng shine in Europe, as he never got a chance to do so after 11 years at Pirates. "We want to see him succeed and fulfil his dreams of playing abroad, which we didn't do while playing, to play in Europe. Now, as the rumours say, I would want a player I have coached to play for a big team like Barcelona, maybe Rangers in Scotland. But also for the team , it has to make business sense.""Let the boy play soccer. He is the best winger we have now and is ready to play. We shouldn't wait; let him play now while he is as he is.
