Khama Billiat’s agent, Mike Ngobeni, says the forward has no intention of leaving Chiefs because he wants to win trophies with the club, despite heavy interest from Sundowns and North Africa.

The Zimbabwe international dominated the rumour mill throughout the recently concluded transfer window, with many suggesting a blockbuster return to the Brazilians.

Sundowns were clearly interested in the player, as were some of the top clubs from North Africa but his agent, Mike Ngobeni of M-Sport Management, insists Billiat never considered leaving Naturena.

‘You know I’ve been making it clear Khama is not going anywhere,’ Ngobeni told IOL.

‘Khama is happy at Chiefs and he still wants to win trophies with the club and that’s why he decided to stay.

‘Sundowns never approached me but they approached Chiefs,’ he added.

‘The player stated clearly he had no intention of leaving Chiefs because he still wants to win something [with the team].’

Ngobeni also insists Billliat has no interest in moving to North Africa.

‘Yes, there was interest from teams in North Africa after he played well in the Africa Cup of Nations. But Khama wasn’t interested in moving to that part of the world,’ the agent concluded.
