Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa is a wanted man in North Africa, it appears.
The 28-year-old is just six goals shy of breaking the club’s all-time goalscorer but could miss out if he decides to leave. He hasn’t had much game time under the new head coach, Abdeslam Ouaddou, with Boitumelo Radiopane preferred as the main striker.
Mabasa’s agent Gary Cassisa has revealed that Moroccan outfit Mas Fez are interested in the Bafana Bafana forward.
“Yes, there has been interest from Mas Fez, but Tshegofatso Mabasa remains committed to Orlando Pirates only,” Cassisa told Soccer Laduma.
“He is closing in on the club’s all-time leading goalscorer record and would like to make history with the Soweto giants.”
Mabasa gunning for Orlando Pirates record
Last season, Mabasa scored seven goals in 25 league matches for the Buccaneers. The season before, the 28-year-old attacker netted 16 goals to win the PSL golden boot for the first time.
With the record just a few goals away, it appears that Mabasa might stay another season and fight for his place in the starting eleven.
Should Mabasa start for Pirates?
