Rangers have been linked with a move for South African international Relebohile Mofokeng who plays for Orlando Pirates.
The summer transfer window is now in full flow as we approach the end of June and Rangers supporters are expecting plenty more business to come out of Ibrox in the next two months.
There are likely to be plenty more incomings and outgoings at Rangers this summer before the window shuts in just over eight weeks time. One player who has been linked with a switch to the Gers has recently been given a ringing endorsement by a former Leeds United favourite.
Former Leeds United player says Rangers linked international ‘ready’ for move to Europe
The 20-year old South African international Relebohile Mofokeng is reportedly a transfer target for Rangers this summer. The midfielder player for Orland Pirates in his homeland and was crowned as the South African top flight's player of the season for 2024/25.
He has also earned six caps for the South African men’s senior international side and been a regular for Pirates in recent seasons despite his young age. With the youngster surely catching the eye of many European clubs, former Leeds United defender Lucas Radebe believes the player is ready to make the step up.
Radebe, who was capped 70 times for South Africa and spent ten years at Elland Road, said (via iDiski Times): "I think he’s ready (to go to Europe). You don’t need five or ten seasons in the PSL to be ready.
"He’s had two great seasons already. That’s enough to show his potential. From here, it’s all about development – and that’s where Europe can play a big role. Players like Siphiwe Tshabalala, Reneilwe Letsholonyane, and even Itumeleng Khune – they all had the quality to play abroad earlier,” Radebe added.
"Staying at one club or in the PSL too long doesn’t always help their growth. That’s why I believe our top talents must go as young as they can. Relebohile is at that stage now.”
