The ink isn’t even dry on Mohau Nkota’s contract at Al-Ettifaq after his move from Orlando Pirates. However, he’s already brushing shoulders with some elite talent.
20-year-old winger Nkota has recently sealed a move to Saudi Arabia.
There, he links up with the likes of Georginio Wijnaldum and former PSG, Fulham, Lyon and Atlético Madrid attacker Moussa Dembélé.

Ex-Orlando Pirates star Nkota spotted with Gini Wijnaldum
It hasn’t taken Mohau Nkota to brush shoulders with a Champions League winner and share a few laughs in the process. Gini Wijnaldum, now 34, became a cult favourite at Liverpool for his knack of scoring goals in big games. The Dutchman won the Premier League, Champions League, Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup with the Reds, and he’s also vastly experienced on the international stage with 96 caps and 28 goals for the Netherlands.

Pirates got a knockdown fee for their Nkota replacement
According to KickOff, Orlando Pirates have landed an almighty coup in signing Oswin Appollis from Polokwane City. The Sea Robbers managed to pay only R12 million for the star winger despite Polokwane having a much larger number in mind.
“Aware that his (Appollis) contract was heading into its last 12 months, Polokwane then agreed to sell him to Pirates. Though the 23-year-old’s valuation has been placed at R20 million over the past year, it has been established that he will move to Pirates for 60% of that amount. This places the transfer fee in the region of R12 million.”
