When asked for his goal target for the season in the league, Mhango replied: “My target is 15 goals.”
The club’s record for the most goals in a single season in all competition is held by Dennis Lota, who scored 23 goals during the 1999/00 campaign and Mhango is currently on 15 goals with seven games left.
The 27-year-old player also disclosed he would like to play in the Premier League in England before retiring from football.
“I would like to play [in the] English Premier League because I have always wanted to play EPL [football],” he said.
Former Bafana Bafana captain Mbulelo Mabizela is the last player to leave Pirates directly for a Premier League club in 2003 when he joined Tottenham Hotspur.

Pirates are currently placed fourth on the league standings – eight points behind the leaders, Kaizer Chiefs, who have a game in hand.
However, Mhango remains hopeful they can catch Chiefs if they take it one game at a time if the league resumes.
“The league is not over yet but we will take it a game at a time,” Mhango, who won the PSL title with Bidvest Wits in 2017, concluded.
