Spurs CEO Provides Update On Chiefs' Velebayi Chase

Spurs CEO Provides Update On Chiefs' Velebayi Chase

Cape Town Spurs CEO Alexi Efstathiou has provided an update on the situation of in-demand midfielder Asenele Velebayi.

For all that has been said about Kaizer Chiefs' interest in the player, Efstathiou says that the Ikamva-based club have only received one written offer for the player from Chiefs so far.

"There have been talks and enquiries from various teams" he told the Siya crew.

"But as far as written offers are concerned, we've only received one. Chiefs know our stance, everyone knows our stance and we are not changing that. This is definitely not a Chiefs/Spurs thing as it has been made out to be. 

"We know what the player is valued at, he has a contract with our club and that needs to be respected no matter the club," he said.

As he has reiterated throughout the saga, the Spurs boss has been clear on the club's stance with regards to Velebayi and urged Chiefs - or any other interested suitor - to meet their asking price for the player if he is to leave in the current transfer window.

"There are no discounts when you know the worth of your product. We have shown that we are not opposed to selling players. We have lost three crucial players. Two of them went to Stellenbosch, who were willing to pay what we were asking for, and one to Chiefs. This is how it works all over the world.

"If anyone meets our asking price for Asenele, he will be transferred," he added. 

"In the meantime, Asanele is focused on the job at hand, and must say as a young player, he is handling the situation in a very mature way" he concluded.
