Just months after arriving at his current European employers, a former Kaizer Chiefs defender will play a role in determining the destiny of the league title.

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Teenage Hadebe will be caught up in a game that will determine the destiny of the Turkish Super Lig title on the last day of the season.

Hadebe is now doing duty for Konyaspor on a deal running up to the end of the season on Sunday.

The last match that the towering defender will play under the deal that he signed in February will set him up against title-chasing Galatasaray.

Levels of interest in this match at the Konya Metropolitan Stadium will be at their highest as it will determine who lifts the title between Galatasaray and their rivals Fenerbahce.

Gala (99 points) need at least a point to secure the title without looking over their shoulders to check what Fenerbahce do against relegated Istanbulspor.

At the other end, Konyaspor have their own relegation interests in it as they also need a point to secure safety.

Hadebe has been played regularly since making his debut three months ago with 11 appearances and was given top marks in the 2-2 draw away at Kayserispor on Saturday.

The Zimbabwe international spent two years at Chiefs before he was sold to Turkish club Yeni Malatyaspor in 2019.
