Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns star Teboho Mokoena, who enjoyed a stellar African Cup of Nations, is reportedly attracting interest from overseas clubs, with Premier League side Bournemouth, French Ligue 1 side AS Monaco and Egyptian giants Al Ahly all reportedly interested in his services.

Mokoena, who has a long-term deal with Sundowns, is represented by veteran football agent Glyn Binkin, who said a move abroad would be highly beneficial for the creative midfielder.

Commenting on Mokoena’s situation Binkin said: “There’s obviously been a lot of speculation around the players because of their success in the tournament. But all players have long-term contracts at their clubs.

“Any interested party would have to engage with their respective clubs to see if they would be prepared to sell the players.

“Obviously we’re hopeful that the clubs would be reasonable and give the players an opportunity to play football at the highest levels abroad. That’s up to the clubs, but we’re sure that common sense will prevail.

“Although there’s lots of speculation and rumours from the Premier League and other top European leagues, as well as Al Ahly in Egypt… any interested party would have to engage, first and foremost with the club… and thereafter they would contact us as his agents to see if there is interest and how we can move forward.”

The PSL restarts on Friday after a midseason break during which AFCON was played. Sundowns are in action on Saturday against Orlando Pirates although it remains to be seen how many of their returning national team stars will be in action.
