Khumalo loan possibility

The agent of Tottenham Hotspur's South African defender, Bongani Khumalo, has claimed that his client may have to go out on loan next season to seek first team football. 

Since his move from SuperSport United 14 months ago, the South African international is yet to make an appearance for the White Hart Lane outfit.

Matt Kleinman, his agent, believes that he should be able to leave North London on loan in pre season to look for first team football. 

Speaking to KickOff.com, Kleinman said: 'It's going to be very difficult to get into the Spurs team but Bongani has absolute faith in his own ability.

'He's still relatively young and it was always going to take a little bit of time to move on to the next level.

'Maybe he will go out on loan, who knows? That's very much down to Spurs and how he gets on over the next couple of months and in pre-season.

'It takes players a while to acclimatise to football over here but I think next season will be very different for Bongani.'
