First National Division Overview

In a statement released online the Soweto club confirmed all the fevered speculation was correct and the 21-year-old was getting his dream move to Europe. They also revealed that the deal had already been concluded before Mofokeng left for the World Cup but was kept quiet to allow the youngster to focus on the tournament.

With multiple media outlets reporting the youngster is finalising a deal to move to Belgium champions Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, Blues legend Salomon Kalou has thrown his weight behind the 21-year-old, insisting the youngster has the quality and technical ability to thrive in any European league.

The representatives of Siviwe Magidigidi have moved to clarify reports suggesting the forward has gone absent without leave from Belgian club K Beerschot VA. Rumours had begun to swirl regarding the youngster’s future after he failed to return to Europe following a trip home to Mzansi.

Nathan De Cat is the next big thing to come out of Belgium - both figuratively and literally. At just 17 years old, the midfielder already stands at a towering six feet and three inches tall - and he still has plenty of growing to do. The latest gem to emerge from Anderlecht's famed youth system, his height isn't the only reason he's caught the attention of some of Europe's elite.
