SuperSport United have called on Tottenham Hotspur to make a 'better offer' for defender Bongani Khumalo.

The South Africa international impressed for the hosts at the World Cup earlier in the summer and has also undergone a trial at Tottenham.

Reports had suggested that the 23-year-old would move to White Hart Lane during the January transfer window after he caught Harry Redknapp's eye.

However, SuperSport chairman Khulu Sibiya says it is not certain that Khumalo will move to the Premier League and is waiting for an improved bid.

"This is not a foregone conclusion and Tottenham will have to pitch a new and better offer during the next transfer window. Negotiations will open then," Sibiya told the Sowetan.

Patient

Sibiya declined to reveal Khumalo's price tag, but insists the club have the player's best interests at heart.

He added: "People have very short memories when it comes to these kind of things. I can assure you that Bongani will look back and thank us.

"I am of the opinion that the player has a lot of potential and if he is patient and concentrates on cementing his place in the national team he will go far.

"I feel sure that in a few months Bongani's stature will have risen and he will secure himself an even better overseas move."
