It’s safe to say that Khama Billiat has not enjoyed the best form of his career with Chiefs. 47 goals in 140 appearances for Sundowns was by far Billiat’s best strike ratio throughout his club career. 0.34 goals per game is a respectable goal-scoring rate for a man who operated mainly in wide areas or behind a conventional striker.

Frosler’s is on Rhulani Mokwena’s radar at Sundowns, and the 24-year-old would fetch a decent price. Dillan Solomons is first-choice at right-back, and perhaps Chiefs could invest the money in bolstering their forward options.
