'Wydad Can Be A Stepping Stone To Europe For Mailula'

'Wydad Can Be A Stepping Stone To Europe For Mailula'

Former Mamelodi Sundowns striker Cassius Mailula has struggled to find his form since joining MLS side Toronto FC.

As reported by Soccer Laduma, Mailula could be on his way out of the Canadian team before the transfer window closes, with interest from Rulani Mokwena's Wydad Casablanca.

With clubs showing interest, previously including his former team Sundowns and a Croatian club, there are many opinions on where he should go.

Former Orlando Pirates midfielder James Mothibi believes reuniting with coach Rulani Mokwena could be the best move for the 23-year-old.

In an exclusive interview with Soccer Laduma, Mothibi explained that Mokwena knows the player well, and the player also trusts and believes in his former coach.

"For me I can say he should join Wydad with coach Rulani Mokwena. I think there he can rediscover his form because coach Rulani introduced him to the Premier League and he did very well under him before he left for America. The player also understands the coach and he trusts him so that would work very well for both of them if they can reunite in Morocco," Mothibi observed.

Mothibi, who runs a soccer academy in the Northern Cape, added that performing well in Morocco could open doors for Mailula to move to Europe, as many European clubs monitor North African teams. 

"He can move to Morocco now then play well under coach Rulani which can then open doors for him to move to Europe. But he should not come back to the PSL as it will be like he is moving backwards. He should look at moving forward and if he does well in Morocco it's easy to move to Europe as most European teams look at the North African leagues like Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt as they are very close there. So a move to Wydad would be the best for him at this point," Mothibi told Soccer Laduma.
