Footballer Kagiso Dikgacoi needs UK visa

One of South Africa's most talented football stars is hoping that his move to the English Premier League will not be ruined by UK immigration regulations.

South African midfielder Kagiso Dikgacoi claims that Fulham and Portsmouth football clubs are currently interested in signing him up as a player.

The twenty four year old was set to move to Fulham F.C. last season but the switch never occurred due to issues with his UK visa.The player is keen to secure his transfer to the Premier League for the upcoming season.

In a recent interview with football website Kickoff.com, Dikgacoi said: “I have been told of the Portsmouth interest but I also understand that Fulham is still interested in inviting me to train with them again."

Dikgacoi currently plays for the Golden Arrows football team who have their homeground in Durban. The player requires a valid UK work visa to complete any club transfer to England.
