Ertugral wanted Sivasspor to sign Khune but Kaizer Chiefs wanted too much money

Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Muhsin Ertugral still believes Itumeleng Khune is one of the best goalkeepers on the African continent even after 13 seasons as a professional.

Khune has struggled with injuries in recent months but Ertugral, who handed Khune his professional debut in 2007, feels the 32-year-old is still South Africa's best.

The Turkish admitted some may doubt Khune's ability as a goalkeeper, but Ajax Amsterdam and Cameroon shot-stopper Onana is the only African goalkeeper currently playing regularly in Europe.
