“It would be a shame for me to choose a Premier League club and not be ready or not understand the type of football that’s played in England‚” Mokotjo told The Sowetan.
“Oh yeah‚ I had options in the Premier League but yeah I’m a person who makes my decisions very carefully‚ because I don’t want my development to stop‚” Mokotjo continued.
“I need my game time.
“I’m still 26 and I’m not saying I’m young‚ but I’m 26 and I still have time‚ you know.
“If I have a good season‚ make another move and yeah‚ I really need to get used to the style of football there – that’s the most important thing for me first in order to make an even bigger step.”
