REPORT: Brøndby midfielder Lebogang Phiri to NYCFC this summer

If at first you don’t succeed, try again.

In a recent report from Danish newspaper BT, midfielder Lebogang Phiri is rumored to be joining New York City FC during the summer when his current contract with Brøndby IF is up. NYC was previously reported to be interested in the South African midfielder back in January, but was denied by Brøndby after offering $650k for his services, which was quite short of his $1.5 million market value as listed by Transfermarkt.

Phiri, 22, is listed as primarily being a center midfielder and is capable of playing in the defensive midfield as well.
