The story

It's been a busy week for young winger Mohau Nkota, who recently left Orlando Pirates to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq. 

On Sunday, Pirates released a statement confirming that Nkota has signed a three-year deal with the Saudi Pro League outfit, seeing the youngster zip from Spain to Portugal to join his new teammates on their pre-season camp.

The 20-year-old had spent just a single season with the Buccaneers' first team after making waves under Joseph Makhanya in Pirates' DStv Diski Challenge team.

He featured 39 times for the Buccaneers in all competitions last season, and scored seven goals, three in the Betway Premiership and four in the CAF Champions League.

The Kimberley-born winger, who is nominated for the Betway Premiership Young Player of the Year accolade, was seen signing autographs from adoring young fans, perhaps a glimpse of what's to come for Nkota in his Saudi journey.

Watch below:

Nkota has been the talk of the South African football fraternity since the Soweto giants confirmed his switch to Al-Ettifaq. 

Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo emphasised the magnitude of this type of opportunity for Nkota in his chat with Andile Ncube on the 10bet DNA podcast:
