Reputable French newspaper L’Equipe are reporting that Mothiba was an option for Ligue 1 basement dwellers who are also believed to have also considered former Inter Milan star Keita Balde who now plays for Turkish club Sivasspor.
Upon digging further, Mgosi squad was told that the Bafana Bafana striker has made a good impression in North Africa where he’s training under the watchful eye of former Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokoena.
“Lebo has obviously impressed at Wydad but it’s unclear if he will be offered a contract or not. Remember Bongani Zungu trained with Wydad too but didn’t get a contract,” a source told Phakaaathi.
