Rangers close a deal with 19 year-old Orlando versatile attacker.

Relebohile Mofokeng, a versatile attacker for Orlando Pirates, is a rising star in South African football, drawing interest from major European clubs, including Rangers, Wolves, Red Bull Salzburg, and Al-Ahly.

Mofokeng, aged 19, has had a standout season, scoring four goals and providing six assists as the Pirates secured a third-place finish in the South African top flight.

Mofokeng’s ability to play both centrally and out wide makes him a valuable asset. His impressive performances have also earned him a call-up to the South African senior national team for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers. Rangers, keen to bolster their squad for the upcoming season, seem to be leading the race to secure his services, potentially making him their first signing of the summer transfer window .

This potential transfer aligns with Rangers’ strategy of discovering and nurturing young talent, similar to their acquisition of Mohamed Diomande, who joined the club in the January transfer window and has since made a significant impact.

The move for Mofokeng is seen as a low-risk investment with a potentially high reward, considering his talent and the relatively modest transfer fee involved .
