SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt has disclosed key details regarding Christian Saile's transfer to Matsatsantsa.
The Congolese forward's switch to the Pretoria-based club was a swap for Tashreeq Morris.
Crucially, Saile's form has been revitalized at SuperSport, where he's already scored twice in all competitions, a stark contrast to his time at Chiefs.
One of these goals was against his former side Chiefs in the Betway Premiership clash on Wednesday at FNB Stadium.
While SuperSport announced Saile's arrival in January, contract specifics were undisclosed. Hunt has now revealed Saile is not a permanent signing, remaining a Chiefs player.
‘HE’S GOING BACK TO CHIEFS’
“Christian, he was never in our thought process. He was never in [our plans] to come here,” he stated.
“He just got thrown in my lap – ‘listen, Morris is going and we’re getting Saile’. [I said] ‘Oh, okay. What am I gonna do with him? I’ve got to try and find what I need to do with him’.
“But he’s got two-three goals, but he needs a lot of work. There’s a lot of things we need to do…
“But he’s not our player, I think he goes back to [Chiefs]. I’m not sure, I’m not in the board room.”
