Standard Liege monitoring Orlando Pirates ace
“It’s not like the interest in Saleng died off. It’s just that last season he was not playing that much so it was hard for the teams interested in him to monitor his progress but they were checking what was going on,” an insider told Soccer Laduma.
“Now since he is back in the thick of things for Orlando Pirates the interest has arise again. It’s Standard Liege that have shown interest. Actually last season they were also interested in Mohau Nkota while Monaco SC were interested in Saleng.
“So now it’s also believed that the Standard Liege scouts are looking at Saleng since Nkota has not been playing much since his promotion.”
