Kaizer Chiefs legend Derrick Spencer has tipped the Soweto giants to forget about outcast Khama Billiat as they have found a gem in Edson Castillo.

LEGEND: CHIEFS FANS MUST JUST FORGET ABOUT BILLIAT
Billiat joined Chiefs after his sensational departure from Sundowns and failed to lead Amakhosi to cup glory despite his arrival as a key player.
While he has also suffered a number of injuries, many fans were shocked to see him leave since he failed to agree on a new deal at Naturena.

“Castillo is a very good player. He looks relaxed on the ball and brings the team together. He is a quality player and this is what the team needed,” Spencer told Soccer Laduma.
“You cannot compare him to Khama. He did nothing for Chiefs. We are actually better without him.
“Tell me what did he [Billiat] do since he joined the team? Nothing. He has been the best signing not only for this season but in the past few years.
“The club did a good job in bringing him in and looking at the way he is playing, he will help the team a lot. His quality will rub off on the other players which is what we needed in the team.”
