Kagisho Dikgacoi, a former Bafana Bafana and Fulham midfielder who played in Europe from 2009 to 2014, has identified three South African players he believes could thrive in the English Premier League.
Dikgacoi, known for his stints at Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Cardiff City, emphasizes the wealth of talent in South Africa capable of competing at the highest levels abroad.
However, he narrowed down his picks to three standout performers.
One of Dikgacoi’s choices is Teboho Mokoena from Mamelodi Sundowns, celebrated for his midfield prowess.
Mokoena’s standout performances for both club and country have attracted significant attention from overseas clubs, showcasing his potential to excel on a global stage.
Grant Kekana: Defensive Strength
Dikgacoi also highlighted Grant Kekana, another key figure at Sundowns, for his defensive solidity and physical prowess.
Drawing comparisons to players like Manuel Akanji, Kekana’s calm demeanor and strength make him a promising prospect for European football.
Relebohile Mofokeng: The Young Sensation
The third player on Dikgacoi’s radar is Relebohile Mofokeng from Orlando Pirates, a teenage sensation who caught the eye during trials with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Dikgacoi believes Mofokeng has the potential to shine in England, provided he continues to refine his game and stay focused on his development.
In an interview with FARPost, Dikgacoi expressed confidence in these players’ abilities to make a mark in Europe, drawing parallels between their talents and those of established international stars.
