Former Hereford United winger Tom Barkhuizen is being lined up to play for South Africa.
Barkhuizen could qualify to play as his grandfather was South African.

The country's coach Molefi Ntseki is coming to England to speak to Barkhuizen who is currently at Preston.

“We have a concern with the strikers‚ so I will use this break to go to England to speak to Tom Barkhuizen‚ his club and his family," said Ntseki.

“We are happy with his profiling and we want to see if he can get a SA passport and be able to come in.”

Preston are second in Championship and Barkhuizen has scored five goals to date this season.
