Chelsea and Brighton target South African prospect Relebohile Mofokeng

Relebohile Mofokeng is expected to join either Chelsea or Brighton after impressing since moving to Union Saint-Gilloise.

The 21-year-old established himself as an important player for Orlando Pirates in 2024, recording 23 goals and 22 assists in 85 appearances across two seasons with the South African club.

Mofokeng moved to Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise this summer for £2.5m. He has made a strong start to his time in Belgium, scoring four goals and providing one assist in nine matches this season.

His performances have reportedly placed him on the radar of Chelsea and Brighton, with a move to one of the Premier League clubs expected to follow.

Mofokeng was also included in South Africa’s squad for the World Cup this summer. However, the young forward was unable to make a significant impact during a disappointing tournament for the national team.
