Elias Mokwana, the talented winger for Bafana Bafana, is making waves both on the international stage and with his club, Esperance in Tunisia.
Since his transfer, Mokwana has become a key player for the national team, leaving fans eager to see what’s next for him.
European Interest Looms
After impressing in recent matches, Mokwana is attracting attention from European clubs, particularly in Belgium.
Soccer-Laduma reports that scouts have been closely monitoring his performance, especially during South Africa’s convincing victory over Congo.
The 25-year-old has now earned four caps for the national side and made the switch to Esperance in August for approximately R7 million.
Should he secure a transfer to a higher-paying club in Europe, Sekhukhune United stands to benefit from a sell-on clause included in his contract.
“There’s definitely interest from Europe, specifically Belgium,” a source revealed.
“While I can’t disclose the name of the club just yet—since that could complicate matters—they’ve been watching Mokwana closely.
Scouts and agents have attended two of his games for Bafana Bafana, and they’re keen to discuss a potential transfer with his team in Tunisia.
While I can’t say when they want to make a move, it’s clear they’re interested in securing his services.”
Benefits for Sekhukhune United
The possibility of Mokwana moving to Europe doesn’t just benefit him or Esperance; it could also be a financial boost for Sekhukhune United.
“If Elias is sold to a European club for a higher fee than what Sekhukhune United received from Esperance, they will receive a percentage of that sale,” explained another source.
“So, this interest from Belgium is advantageous not just for Mokwana and Esperance, but also for Sekhukhune United.”
