Mofokeng was touted as a potential transfer target for several European sides including Gers last year, with Catalan giants Barcelona even said to have sent scouts over to watch him in person.
And while it remains to be seen if he is on new Ibrox boss Russell Martin's radar, the youngster has been urged by South Africa and Leeds United hero Lucas Radebe that now is the time to try his luck further afield.

He told iDiski Times: "I think he's ready (to go to Europe). You don't need five or ten seasons in the PSL to be ready.
"He's had two great seasons already. That's enough to show his potential. From here, it's all about development – and that's where Europe can play a big role.
"Players like Siphiwe Tshabalala, Reneilwe Letsholonyane, and even Itumeleng Khune – they all had the quality to play abroad earlier,' Radebe added.
"But staying at one club or in the PSL too long doesn't always help their growth. That's why I believe our top talents must go as young as they can. Relebohile is at that stage now.'

Meanwhile, Ianis Hagi has offers on the table from clubs in Europe's top five leagues following his Rangers exit - according to an insider close to the midfielder.
Ianis Hagi is on the hunt for a new club after leaving Rangers
The Romania international called it quits on his five year spell at Ibrox when his contract expired last month, with the playmaker missing the final three games of the season through injury.
The 26-year-old was said to be on Polish side Legia Warsaw's radar but that potential transfer now looks be off the table after their manager Edi Iordanescu admitted that they would not be able to meet Hagi's wage demands.
But following the rebuke, Steaua Bucharest and Romania legend Ilie Dumitrescu claims he has heard from Hagi himself that clubs in Europe's top five most prestigious divisions - England, Spain, Germany, France and Italy - have all enquired about his services.

Speaking to Digisport (via spotmedia.ro), he said: "I met him at the gym. He trained with Farul (Constanta), participated in training sessions. From what I understood, he had offers from top 5 European leagues.
"He also had an offer from Legia, but he didn't accept. There are advanced discussions in top 5 leagues. We hope that they will materialize soon."

Jacob deGrom wins 5th decision in row, Adolis García drives in 4 runs as Rangers beat O's 10-2
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jacob deGrom won his fifth consecutive decision in another impressive start, Adolis García drove in four runs and the Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles 10-2 on Tuesday night. Alejandro Osuna hit his first career homer for Texas, which had gone extra innings in each of its previous four games — losing three of those. DeGrom (9-2, 2.13 ERA) struck out six over six innings in his 14th consecutive start working at least five innings and allowing two runs or fewer. That extended his franchise record and is the longest streak in the majors this season. The two-time Cy Young Award winner scattered five hits, allowing a two-run homer to Gary Sánchez in the fourth that just cleared the wall. Six nights earlier in Baltimore, deGrom was perfect through six innings and took a no-hitter into the eighth. García put the Rangers ahead to stay with his two-run single in the third, and scored on Jonah Heim's single to make it 3-0 against rookie right-hander Brandon Young (0-3). García had another two-run single in the fifth, an inning after Osuna's two-run homer. Jacob Latz struck out three while working the final three innings for his first career save. Key moment Sánchez homered on the next pitch, for the only Baltimore runs, after his two-out foul pop in the fourth inning that dropped just beyond the extended reach of first baseman Josh Smith into the Rangers dugout. Key stat Justin Foscue drove in two runs with a pinch-hit double in the eighth, ending his 0-for-44 slide that was the longest in Rangers history. Up next Nathan Eovaldi (4-3, 1.87 ERA) pitches for Texas in the series finale Wednesday night, only the right-hander's second start since a month-long stay on the injured list because of elbow inflammation. Tomoyuki Sugano (6-4, 4.06) pitches for Baltimore. ___ AP MLB: ___

No flirting with perfection for deGrom against O's this time. Just another solid start for Texas ace
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — There was no flirting with perfection this time for Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom against the Orioles. Just another impressive start for the two-time Cy Young Award winner in his comeback from elbow surgery. DeGrom struck out six on Tuesday night and limited the Orioles to two runs over six innings, on a homer by Gary Sánchez that just cleared the wall. The 37-year-old right-hander departed with a 7-2 lead, six days after he was perfect through six innings and took a no-hitter into the eighth in Baltimore. It was the 17th start this season for deGrom, and the 14th in a row he worked at least five innings while also allowing two runs or fewer. That extended his franchise record, and is the longest streak in the majors this season. Baltimore had a runner early this time, when Ryan O'Hearn drew a leadoff walk in the second inning. Cedric Mullins led off the third with a bunt single, though he was then thrown out trying to steal second base. Sanchez hit a two-run homer with two outs in the fourth. The 381-foot shot barely got over the wall in left, and came one pitch after his foul pop that dropped just beyond the extended reach of first baseman Josh Smith into the Rangers dugout. After missing most of his first two seasons with the Rangers because of his second Tommy John surgery, deGrom has thrown 101 1/3 innings this year, his first time over 100 in a season since he threw 204 in 2019 — when he won his second consecutive National League Cy Young while with the New York Mets. He threw only 41 innings combined in nine starts the past two seasons after signing his $185 million, five-year contract with Texas in free agency. Texas won all six starts deGrom made in his Texas debut before the end of April in 2023 before surgery, then he rehabbed most of last year before a 1.69 ERA and 14 strikeouts over 10 2/3 innings in three September starts. DeGrom made 12 starts during the COVID-19-shortened 60-game season in 2020, and had career-low 1.08 ERA over 92 innings in 2021 before missing the final three months with right forearm tightness and a sprained elbow. He was shut down late during spring training in 2022 because of a stress reaction in his right scapula, then went 5-4 with a 3.08 ERA in 11 starts the last two months of that season before becoming a free agent. ___ AP MLB:
