According to Soccer Laduma, Efstathiou said the club invests a lot of money in player development, while Chiefs have shown interest in another Spurs player, Asanele Velebayi.
Efstathiou said:
“We are unapologetic in saying that we will not allow our players to leave for nothing. So many resources go into developing a player, and we do all that out of our pockets without assistance from SAFA or anyone else.”
Spurs striker Ashely Cupido is another player PSL clubs have targeted, and the club is hoping coach Ernst Middendorp can guide them back to the top league.
