Kaizer Chiefs to sell Khama Billiat
South African giants Kaizer Chiefs are ready to listen to offers for Khama Billiat, whose contract is up for renewal in the coming months, the Siya crew has been told.
The attacker joined Amakhosi in July 2018 as a free agent following his decision to leave rivals Mamelodi Sundowns, though he was offered a new lucrative deal as then coach Pitso Mosimane was still keen on having him in his squad.
With Chiefs not paying a transfer fee to lure Billiat to Naturena, it opened the door for the club to table an improved package, reportedly around R8-million per annum.
Orlando Pirates were also in talks with the player over a possible move.
But the reality is that the Glamour Boys haven’t quite seen him produce the same form he did during his five years at Chloorkop.
At Sundowns, Billiat scored more than 50 goals in a little over 150 appearances, helping them win the league title three times and the CAF Champions League.
It’s been different at Chiefs – he has only managed 15 goals in 79 games, and that indicates the club isn’t getting a return on their investment —Soccerladuma
