According to a Briefly News source at Cape Town Spurs, the club is willing to sell the winger for the right price.

The source said:

“Cape Town Spurs are willing to sell, but as previously stated, they will only listen to good offers. The bosses will not let any player leave for cheap and are not looking to hold any player back. That much has been shown with some players who have left the club recently.”

Fans are frustrated

Amakhosi supporters voiced their frustrations on social media, saying Chiefs should consider looking into other players instead of being constantly rejected by Spurs.

Chiefs have been constantly linked with moves for Oswin Appollis and Asanele Velebayi but have yet to reach an agreeable fee for the players.
