I don't see why Makhanya does that, though. If he goes to Europe and impresses over the next few months, he's going to the World Cup.
Changing clubs but staying in MLS feels like an odd move, especially given this is his first season and only season as a starter outside of South Africa so far.

Yep. Just checked — three goals in all comps since September started. One against Moldova, two against Chicago. Not ideal.

💯, have him play the role Nico Jackson is playing right now and then take over for Kane in the future.

I know at this stage, Timo Werner is neither clinical nor particularly affordable. But if he's willing to take a sizable pay cut, this could be a win-win.
Mainz 05 are significantly underperforming xG and leaving a lot of chances on the table. A prove-it deal could work wonders.
