“Things didn’t go well for him at SuperSport and he had high hopes that he will be signed. Unfortunately, coach Gavin was not impressed with him.” a source told Citizen.
“But, it’s not the end of the road for him because Spurs want to sign him. I believe there has already been contact with him and it’s just a matter of time before things are made official.
“So I think it will be a good move for him to return to his old club and not sit at home and do nothing.
“I mean, it’s been a long time now since he last played competitive football and that’s not good for a player of his calibre.”

“Luke is very close as far as that is concerned. Yes, he came in probably three quarters to the season as a free agent, and you know he had to work very hard to get himself a club,” Johnson told Sowetan.
“And he got Chiefs as his next destination, and when he started at the village, he had to work very hard. But since we closed in December for those few weeks, he has come back looking a lot fresher. And now that we started training, Luke is looking very sharp.”
The publication further claimed Fleurs will likely make his debut for the club when the DStv Premiership resumes following the ongoing AFCON break.
Chiefs are due to face TS Galaxy on 13 February at the FNB Stadium.
