Botswana international goalkeeper Thabo Motswagole is generating
significant transfer interest from South Africa’s Premier Soccer League
(PSL), following a standout season with Gaborone United.
The 25-year-old was instrumental in his club’s double success last season,
helping them secure the Botswana Premier League title and qualify for the
CAF Champions League. His commanding performances also earned him a
nomination for the Goalkeeper of the Year award.
Sources close to the player confirm that his talents have not gone
unnoticed. “Big clubs in the PSL have been made aware of him and are keeping
track. This could be a big season for him,” they revealed. Interest has also
emerged from clubs in Tanzania, highlighting his growing reputation across
the region.
Widely regarded as one of the most promising goalkeepers in Southern Africa,
Motswagole is already being compared to legendary PSL shot-stopper Denis
Onyango, who also arrived in South Africa as a relative unknown before
achieving iconic status. With similar strengths in composure, reflexes, and
leadership, Motswagole is now tipped to follow a similar path.
While Gaborone United will be reluctant to lose their first-choice
goalkeeper ahead of a continental campaign, the mounting interest from
abroad suggests a pivotal moment is approaching in the young keeper’s
career.
