S/African midfield sensation attracts European interest

By Mark Ogagan

In the wake of South Africa’s impressive performances at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations which led the team to the semifinals, one of its midfielders, Teboho Mokoena, has reportedly attracted interest from a host of European teams.

The Mamelodi Sundowns star has received several offers having impressed with his red-hot form for South Africa at the tournament.

“A lot of teams have made an enquiry over his services, and there others who showed interest before, but never followed up. Now they are back after what they have seen from him at the Afcon. But, the only offers that will be considered will be at leagues in England, France, the Netherlands, and Germany,” insiders reported.

Mokoena had an outstanding outing against Nigeria at the Afcon semifinals on Wednesday, scoring South Africa’s equalizing goal to take the game into extra time.
