Orlando Pirates might sign Kaizer Chiefs’ attacker Khama Billiat
Orlando Pirates might sign Kaizer Chiefs’ attacker Khama Billiat. They have been interested in Khama Billiat even before he came to Kaizer Chiefs.
I wish I joined Orlando Pirates instead of Kaizer Chiefs
“We tried to sign Khama but decided in the last minute not to sign him. We were very close to bringing Khama to the black and white, but we decided on protecting the changing room,” said Mokwena.
“The ratio between the expense, not just the salary, but with regards to injuries and other factors, and the profit we would get … we thought it did not make sense. So, it’s not that Pirates lost out on the race to sign Khama, Pirates decided not to sign Khama.”
That was back then but Pirates did not give up on their dream of signing Khama Billiat.
“He wanted to leave at the end of last season but no club would have been able to pay what Chiefs would demand. But at the end of this season, he will have one year left on his deal and it would make sense for Chiefs to cash in rather than lose him on a free deal in January next year, when he would be eligible to sign a pre-contract with another club.
“Pirates are keen and keeping tight tabs on his situation and should he be available, they will be among the first to make an offer,” said a source.
Do you think he will do better at PIrates ?
