Khama Billiat was spotted in SuperSport United's camp on Thursday, and the Siya crew has now been informed on the latest developments of the former Kaizer Chiefs star's possible move to Tshwane.
Siya sources have indicated that the Zimbabwean forward's move to SuperSport could happen before the PSL season gets underway. At the moment the campaign is on a break because of the Africa Cup of Nations.

So, there is an eagerness for the deal to be sealed during the January Transfer Window.
"The deal is on the cards. I can say it's imminent. Anything can happen before the league resumes in February. The coach is interested in the player and the technical team believes that he can bring the needed experience to the youthful attacking force that the team has," said the Siya source.
"The talks are still ongoing and it looks very positive at the moment. I can't say how far but it's imminent as I have said," the source told Soccer Laduma.
A second source added that Billiat was previously training on his own and he looks ready to join a club that is interested in giving him a chance.
"As a player he is ready. He still has something to offer to football and with the talks going on with SuperSport United, he is ready. He has been training on his own and he even went to Saudi Arabia though things didn't work out there but he still has a lot to offer to football," said the second Siya source.
"His experience will be vital if SuperSport United finally sign him as the deal is on the cards right now," the source added.
Billiat has not played active football since leaving Chiefs at the start of the season and he has failed to clinch a move elsewhere despite interest from teams like Premiership side Cape Town City. He was also linked to Egyptian giants Zamalek in the past, but such a move was not solid enough to progress this season.
When contacted, coach Gavin Hunt stated that he was not in a position to comment while SuperSport United did not respond to Soccer Laduma while this story was prepared.
