LYLE FOSTER IS SOUTH AFRICA’S PRICIEST PLAYER
Benni McCarthy was formerly the most expensive South African footballer ever when Celta Vigo paid Ajax €6m (R113 million) for his services. After Benni, Joburg-born playmaker Steven Pienaar was the second-most expensive when in 2011 he moved from Everton to Tottenham and fetched a fee of €3.6m (R67.6 million). The guaranteed fee that Burnley will pay to Westerlo for Kyle Foster’s services has shattered the record held by Benni since 1999. The Clarets will be a Premier League outfit next season. As a result, on top of the €7m they paid for Foster upfront, they’re also coughing up €4m of add-ons.
Foster’s move will amount to a staggering R218 million.
