The midfielder has struggled for game time since joining Amakhosi amid fanfare and promises of “champagne passes”.
“He is himself unsure. He knows it will be good for his career to move elsewhere so he can get to play again.

Meanwhile, Chiefs’ German coach Ernst Middendorp was upset after a 1-1 draw at lowly Black Leopards cut their South African Premiership lead to seven points Sunday.
