Hunt: Khumalo might leave

Johannesburg - Gavin Hunt has hinted that SuperSport United's central defender and captain Bongani Khumalo could exit the club ahead of the new season.

The Bafana Bafana star, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, has received a wealth of interest in his services following the World Cup.

Football365.co.za broke the news that Khumalo had earned a trial with English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, while Scottish giants Rangers have also made their admiration of the 23-year-old clear.

"I do not have much time (to find a replacement) but it looks like Khumalo might leave," Hunt said at the launch of the 2010/11 season in Maropeng on Monday night.

"But nothing has been confirmed."

Khumalo has been touted as a future Bafana captain by former coach Carlos Alberto Parreira and will be a major loss to United. But Hunt is renowned for dealing with the departure of key players and will be odds on to lead Matsatsantsa to yet another league crown.
