The forward has realised his long-held dream of playing in Europe after Orlando Pirates confirmed his transfer to Belgian outfit Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. Following a string of eye-catching performances in the Premier Soccer League, the 21-year-old star has been tipped to thrive abroad by his former coach, who believes he is ready for the next chapter of his career.
South Africa's head coach has offered his assessment of the 21-year-old's imminent move to the Belgian Pro League. The Orlando Pirates sensation is on the verge of a lucrative switch to Royale-Union St Gilloise following a stellar domestic season and an eye-catching World Cup campaign.
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.
Harry Kane enjoyed being reunited with former Tottenham team-mate Toby Alderweireld following his latest Champions League outing for Bayern Munich, despite being reminded that he was once billed as a “one-season wonder” in English football. Kane has proved to be much more than that, with remarkable standards being maintained in domestic and continental competition.
Harry Kane helped Bayern Munich automatically qualify for the last-16 of the Champions League by scoring both goals in the German giants' 2-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise. The England captain missed a chance at a hat-trick, however, as his 81st minute penalty cannoned off the crossbar. Bayern overcame the 63rd minute sending off of Kim Min-Jae, as well as the absence of their banned ultras, to secure the victory.
'Baby Lukaku'. That is the nickname, coined by Romelu Lukaku's former team-mate Kevin Mirallas, that Belgian journalists love to use when they write about Promise David. It's easy to see why, too, with the Union Saint-Gilloise striker one of European football's most unsung talents, a true Hidden Gem.
Newcastle put forward a dominant display in their 4-0 win away win over Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise. Eddie Howe's side were ruthless in attack, with Anthony Elanga, Nick Woltemade and Anthony Gordon linking well in their first start together as a trio. Woltemade opened the scoring with a clever flick, before Gordon twice bagged from the spot with substitute Harvey Barnes adding the fourth.
Nick Woltemade’s massive £69 million move to Newcastle continues to divide opinion in Germany, with Julian Nagelsmann praising the striker’s start while warning he still has “steps to take.” The national coach’s remarks arrive amid fierce criticism from Bayern legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who labelled Newcastle “idiots” for meeting Stuttgart’s lofty asking price.
