Khama Billiat is leading the pack of most valuable midfielders in South Africa. Newsday reports. The Zimbabwean star is competing with players from Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, SuperSport United and Bidvest Wits for the unofficial title.
According to the publication:
The midfield is often considered the engine room of a football team, and it is no surprise that these talented individuals are valued as the most expensive players in the league.
However, the “midfielder” has become a contested term in modern football owing to the fact that many players today are not traditional central midfielders but operate as wingers or wide forwards, often when the team plays with only one recognised striker, centre-forward or number nine
Khama who is currently valued at R29.6 Million is reportedly seen as an all-rounder who can lead the team forward while tracking back defence, according to Newsday.
