Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos is tipping highly-regarded SuperSport United attacker youngster Thapelo Maseko to realise a dream move to Europe.
Maseko has attracted huge interest, both locally and abroad after a scintillating campaign for Matsatsantsa.
The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to Westerlo in Belgium, with a reported offer rebuffed by SuperSport.

Maseko has also been linked locally to Mamelodi Sundowns, with Broos insisting a transfer to Europe will better benefit the player.
"It should be very good, if he should do that," Broos said.
"You see what happened with Foster. He went to Belgium, and six months later or a year later, he became a good striker in Belgium, another six months later, he went to England.
"So, that means if you're ambitious as a player, if you have a good attitude, you can learn a lot in Europe because the opportunities are much bigger, than locally at the moment.
"It should also be good, even for youngsters, if they get the opportunity and if my information is right, the same team of Foster [Westerlo] wanted him.
"I know this team; this team gives a chance to young players.
"The coach also gives a chance to young players. It should be good for a player like Maseko to go to a team like that and for all players.
"Why Morocco is so good, they are playing in big leagues in Europe, and that's a big difference.
Maseko is in line to make his debut for Bafana Bafana against Morocco in an AFCON qualifier on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 17:00.
