The former Bafana Bafana star is currently clubless after leaving Turkish club BB Ezurumspor.

“Since Tshabalala left BB Ezurumspor, Mahlakgane is always on the road trying to find a new team for his client,” a source told Isolezwe.

“Negotiations are ongoing in different places but there is great promise in Asia. There is another team in Azerbaijan that has asked about Tshabalala’s availability. If everything goes according to plan he could join one of these clubs by December,” said the source close to the player.

Mahlakgane confirmed that there are teams which have shown interest to Tshabalala.

“What I can reveal is that there are overseas teams which I am talking to at the moment, discussing the possibility of signing him. Most of these leagues open in December and January, he could possibly leave South Africa in December.”
