South African teen Relebohile Mofokeng is set to earn a Premier League trial.
The youngster is being given a chance to show his qualities by Midlands club Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The 18-year-old, who has impressed with Orlando Pirates' youth team, has already won five caps for South Africa's Under-20 side.
Orlando head coach Jose Riveiro said, per the Express and Star: “He's in the UK, he's having a trial period with Wolves.
“About Rele I'm absolutely convinced that he's ready for whatever is coming.
“Maybe here (in South Africa), it looks like it's early at 18, but not for me. If you follow the current situation in Europe, (signings aged) 18, 19, 17, 20 is really frequent in the top teams. To get your first minutes in the first team.
"We also have to change our vision of the youngsters, when you are ready you are ready. It doesn't matter if you are 18 or 28. If you are ready to do it you are ready, if you have the level you have the level.
“And in this case, we all know the type of talent that Rele is. Everything is in his hands now to use this opportunity. We are trust me more than happy to see Rele in this situation and hopefully it's not the last one."
