TS Galaxy's rising star Aphelele Teto has been the subject of interest from Europe, having caught the eye of a Scottish Premier League club, KickOff can reveal.

In December last year, TS Galaxy spent just over two weeks in Turkey competing against a host of renowned European opponents with the tour appearing to now have beared fruit.

Speculation abroad suggests that the impressive Teto sparked the interest of Scottish Premier League side Livingston.

According to sources close to the situation, talks over a deal are still in the early stages but Galaxy are believed to be open to the prospect a European move for Teto for an appropriate fee.

Teto made 12 appearances for the Galaxy first-team before being curiously demoted to the Rockets' DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) team in mid-January where he has spent the remainder of the season.

The 19-year-old Carlos Soccer Youth Development Academy product has been rated among the brightest talents within South African football since making senior debut for TS Galaxy back in March 2022.
