The South African tactician has laid down a marker regarding the future of the Royale Union Saint-Gilloise star, earmarking the sensation as a cornerstone of his national team blueprint. The former Al Ahly mentor appears ready to afford the 21-year-old a far more prominent role than Hugo Broos ever did, fast-tracking the youngster to spearhead Bafana's charge toward the 2030 World Cup.

The Bafana Bafana playmaker netted his third goal in his second start in the Belgian Pro League as Les Unionistes went to the top of the table.

With the PSL embracing football data providers, the information available to clubs around the world has seen a massive spike in interest in South African players. And with SkillCorner now reporting that the local league is closing in on the top 10 ranking in the world for physicality, and the top three for explosiveness, expect many more global clubs, especially from Major League Soccer, to start shopping for players in Mzansi.

Bafana Bafana legend Shaun Bartlett believes the 21-year-old is destined for bigger things despite only recently making the move to Europe. The youngster has already made an impression in the Belgian Pro League since swapping Orlando Pirates for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
