Mofokeng told to 'dump' Orlando Pirates
According to the South African, former South African international Mandla Masango has advised Mofokeng on some of the clubs he can join when he decides to leave the Bucs for Europe.
Scottish side Rangers and RB Salzburg are reportedly monitoring the Bafana Bafana star's situation at Pirates.
"I would prefer for him to go to the Netherlands due to their style of play, and it will be perfect for him because it's all about technicality; they don't have big players who will discourage him, he said.
"They play 100 per cent football in the Dutch league. Therefore, it will suit Mofokeng's playing style because he's fantastic in one-on-one situations, and no one can stand up to him."
The former Bafana Bafana star also believed the youngster could excel in Belgium and neighbouring countries.
"I think he can also do well in Belgium. Those two leagues are good starters for players coming from South Africa before they can go to those top leagues in Europe to prove themselves," he added.
Mofokeng is tipped for an overseas move
Briefly News also reported that Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng has been tipped for a move overseas.
The 20-year-old has been backed to switch Pirates for a European team alongside other promising youngsters in the PSL.
