“Things didn’t go well for him at SuperSport and he had high hopes that he will be signed. Unfortunately, coach Gavin was not impressed with him.” a source told Citizen.
“But, it’s not the end of the road for him because Spurs want to sign him. I believe there has already been contact with him and it’s just a matter of time before things are made official.
“So I think it will be a good move for him to return to his old club and not sit at home and do nothing.
“I mean, it’s been a long time now since he last played competitive football and that’s not good for a player of his calibre.”
