"Now he moves to Al-Tai FC, which just got promoted [from] the MBS League in Saudi Arabia. Sporting wishes Knowledge all the best for the rest of his career. Good luck, Knowledge."
The Zimbabwe star's move to the Middle East effectively puts to bed rumours that he could return to South Africa next season, where Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and his former club Chiefs were all thought to have been interested in his services.
Belgian side KAS Eupen sign former Amakhosi star Knowledge Musona
Former PSL top scorer Knowledge Musona has joined Belgian club KAS Eupen. KAS Eupen announced the signing of the Zimbabwean international back in January 2020.
Briefly News reported previously that the news had come as a bit of a surprise as Mamelodi Sundowns were strongly linked with the player, but Musona chose to remain in Belgium instead.
Musona has been playing in Belgium for Anderlecht, but reportedly sought an exit following a challenging spell there. The former Kaizer Chiefs star shared the news via social media and the early signs of promise.
Speaking via the KAS Eupen website, Musona said:
“I got to know the club and the team in the training camp in Doha and this week‚ and during the training in Eupen and I got a very good impression.”
