A Bafana Bafana star midfielder has received interest from overseas following the FIFA Series in Algeria.

South Africa were one of the countries selected by FIFA under a new banner of international friendly matches, with Algeria as hosts.

Hugo Broos' men played two matches, the first against Andorra, where they drew 1-1, before playing to a 3-3 stalemate with the Desert Foxes.

Sekhukhune United star Elias Mokwana transferred his club form to the national team during the Series, after he scored the equalising goal against Andorra and assisting against Algeria, in Bafana's third goal scored by Iqraam Rayners.

Agent Pontsho Madumo has revealed that he got enquiries from overseas networks after Mokwana's performances in Algeria.

"Look, we're looking overseas. There has been a couple of calls from overseas, but locally we haven't heard from anyone. Nothing concrete locally," Madumo said, speaking exclusively to KickOff.

"We have not received offers, but it's just enquiries from the people we're working with, enquiring about the player that is currently doing well.

"Bafana Bafana was a boost for the player, he did very well. We have associates we're working with (overseas) asking questions regarding the player, no offers as yet," he explained.

"There were applauses from people and congratulations from people, but with the offers it's still early days. It was just our associates (overseas) asking about the player," Madumo added.

Mokwana is a subject of interest from the Big Three, namely Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns, who have all been linked with the signing of the explosive attacker.

The 24-year-old has been one of the standout performers for Babina Noko, who are enjoying a great season under Lehlohonolo Seema, currently chasing a spot in one of the continental competitions.
