Bafana talisman and ex-Orlando Pirates star Relebohile Mofokeng can shine in the Champions League based on his Europa League performances.
Relebohile Mofokeng rules the roost in the Europa League this season
Via Siseko Gwegwe, according to statistics platform Statz.ai, Rele Mofokeng has created 15 chances in four UEFA Europa League matches this season. That makes him the leader in that metric. He provides an average of 4.20 chances per 90 minutes. World Cup winner, Aleix Garcia, has created 12 chances for Bayer Leverkusen in the competition. Ironically, they’re a team rumoured to be keen on Mofokeng. Rele will surely improve on a goal and an assist in the Europa League so far. Royal Union Saint-Gilloise are gunning for the knockout stages of the competition.
A sparkling debut season for Rele Mofokeng
So far, Mofokeng has enjoyed a stellar debut campaign with Royal Union Saint-Gilloise. He has five goals and four assists in 15 outings for the Belgian outfit. Most recently, he was a key creative force as Mofokeng and his teammates claimed an impressive win away to Celta Vigo. The 22-year-old scored on his European debut against Viktoria Plzen and has been nominated for the Jupiter Pro League Player of the Month for October. Union SG has him contracted to them until 2029, so they hold powerful leverage if other clubs come in for the talented Bafana star. Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg are among the teams interested.
Meanwhile, Mofokeng will be in action for Bafana Bafana when they meet Kenya. That AFCON qualifier kicks off on 13 November at 18:00.
