Young Africans gunman Fiston Kalala Mayele is in preference of a move to South Africa amid the widespread interest in his services following an incredible season with the Tanzania heavyweights.
Mayele has scored 18 goals in the domestic league and has another 13 in the CAF club competitions this season.

He scored seven in the Champions League and since the relegation of Yanga to the Confederation Cup, has added six.
His sixth was against Marumo Gallants on Wednesday evening at Royal Bafokeng as Yanga progressed 4-1 on aggregate to reach their first ever continental cup final.
"Mayele wants to play in South Africa and is already going to be spending part his off-season here with his wife and two kids," says Rui Frois, his representative on the South African market.
"He really wants to be here in South Africa and that is what I'm specifically working on at this juncture.
"The boy has indicated that he prefers South Africa based on what he has seen of the fact that the league is competitive and there is more exposure plus he can be here with his family.
"So far, he has been profiled by certain clubs in the PSL who have scouts that watch games across the continent.
"It is now a matter of the transfer being done between Young Africans and the prospective club that is interest.
"This is the process that will now work itself out now into the transfer window," says Frois.
Yanga are aiming to get at least R10 million for the Congolese.
There are claims that amounts approaching that figure have been tabled by Sudanese club Al Hilal.
Al Hilal are banking on using the influence of their coach Florent Ibenge – who is Congolese to bring in the free scoring forward.
However, it has been established that Mayele is against the option of playing in a country where he will not be able to take his family.
There have been disturbances in Sudan in recent weeks where army units and the paramilitary Rapid Support Force have been clashing leading to the evacuation of non-Sudanese citizens.
Word from Yanga is that Raja Casablanca from Morocco and Al Hilal's rivals Al Merrikh have also shown their interest just like an unnamed club from Turkey.
Egyptian powerhouse Zamalek have pulled out while the interest of Vipers from Uganda will not be considered as Mayele is not keen.
Sources at Yanga have confirmed that Kaizer Chiefs have raised their hand showing their interest by putting in their interest in writing.
In the meanwhile, Yanga are making efforts to sign an extension with Mayele who has a year remaining on his contract.
