The French Connection: Lebo Mothiba - Strasbourg's smiling assassin

At 22 years old, the South Africa international is beginning to make a name for himself in Ligue 1 - the league of talents

Lebo Mothiba has made only 13 appearances for Strasbourg, but the South African forward has already made quite an impression in Alsace.

Signed for a reported €4 million in the summer from Lille, he has provided an excellent return on investment to date, having scored seven times and provided another assist in only 871 Ligue 1 minutes.

And while his return on the pitch has been impressive, he has also succeeded in charming head coach Thierry Laurey.
