Relebohile Mofokeng is continuing to impress in European football after emerging as the leading chance creator in the UEFA Europa League following the first four rounds of the competition.

The 22-year-old Bafana Bafana winger has enjoyed an encouraging start to life at Belgian club Royale Union Saint-Gilloise after completing his move from Orlando Pirates at the end of last season. His performances have quickly attracted attention, with statistics highlighting his growing influence in one of Europe's major club competitions.

Mofokeng joined Union SG after playing an important role in Pirates' domestic treble-winning campaign. Expectations were high following his impressive performances in South Africa, but the youngster has shown that he can compete at a higher level.

His Europa League campaign started in impressive fashion when he scored just 17 minutes into his competition debut against Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Republic. Union SG secured a convincing 3-0 victory before drawing 1-1 against Spanish side Real Sociedad.

He continued contributing to the team's attacking efforts in their 4-0 victory over Hapoel Beer Sheva, providing an assist. Union SG subsequently defeated Celta Vigo 2-1 away from home, with Mofokeng again featuring in the starting line-up.

According to FotMob statistics, Mofokeng has created more chances than any other player after the opening four rounds. He has started all four matches, accumulating 318 minutes on the pitch.

His overall contribution has also been impressive, registering four goals and three assists in 10 appearances across all competitions for the Belgian outfit.

The former Pirates star will now be determined to maintain his consistency as Union SG continue their domestic and European campaigns.

His impressive performances are also positive news for Bafana Bafana, with regular contributions in European competition potentially strengthening his position in South Africa's national team plans.

For Mofokeng, leading the Europa League in chances created represents another significant milestone in his rapidly developing career.
