Is it over for Khama Billiat?

According to a source who has spoken to phaaakathi it is highly doubtful that Kaizer Chiefs will keep Khama Billiat. The underperforming 32-year-old Billiat’s contract with the Chiefs expires in June, but Naturena has the option to extend it.

Unfortunately since joining the Chiefs in 2018, Khama Billiat has been on and off the field due to injuries. He is currently sidelined due to injury. He will also miss the remainder of this season.

Not only that but the veteran forward is among the highest paid players in the Premier Soccer League. He is rumoured to be earning R800,000 per month. This hefty salary amount for someone with a bad record and it looks like a waste of money. Chiefs could use that money on real striker.

Source spills the beans on the future of Khama Billiat

“The club are obviously worried that he is not helping the team. Because he spends more time in the medical centre than on the field,” said the source.

“He has been unlucky with that and last season the club were supposed to let him go. But they were hoping he could play.

“They felt he could help the team especially with (Arthur) Zwane taking over and would play the kind of football that would suit him.

“But now that he is injured again I think it is the end for him at Chiefs. I do not see him returning next season. He further said that Chiefs want to handle Billiat’s exit as professionally as they can so it does not look like they are discarding him because of his injuries.

“They could just let him go like they did with other players who had served the club well and won things. “But his situation makes it difficult. The coaches like him but the problem is the injuries,” added the source.
