Kaizer Chiefs rumoured target Stanley Nwabali of Nigeria & Chippa United is set stay put as Amakhosi search for Itumeleng Khune's replacement

Nigeria and Chippa United goalkeeper Nwabali has been the talk of the town after his heroics with the Super Eagles in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations where they finished second.His star now shines brighter and he has been earmarked to move to a bigger team in the PSL and the possibility of him leaving South Africa completely, is very much alive.Nwabali has been linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs as Amakhosi are looking for a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/the-rise-and-fall-of-itumeleng-khune-influence-of-alcohol-potential-suspension-is-it-time-for-kaizer-chiefs-star-to-hang-up-his-boots/bltdc8c7ce643348f05" target="_blank">reliable replacement for Itumeleng Khune, whose departure is imminent</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

However, Nwabali has now said he would not mind spending more time with the Chilli Boys, citing his relationship with club chairman Siviwe Mpengesi as part of the reason he wants to stay put.When Bafana Bafana met Nigeria in the Afcon semi-finals, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/stupidity-for-drunk-mpengesi-to-support-nigeria-over-bafana-bafana-at-afcon-psl-teams-should-go-hard-on-chippa-united-and-get-them-relegated-fans/bltf1ea8209da920aa5" target="_blank">Mpengesi and his club issued a statement of support for Nwabali</a> and the Super Eagles, in a bizzare move that saw Chippa withdraw its expected patriotism for South Africa.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"You see when you play under an understanding chairman, everything comes – confidence comes... Imagine you're playing under a chairman who wants all his players to be comfortable, you must work for this man, even when you're in or out [of the team]," <a href="https://www.sabcsport.com/soccer/news/nigeria-goalkeeper-stanely-nwabali-explains-desire-to-remain-at-chippa-united" target="_blank">Nwabali was quoted as saying by SABC Sport</a>."To be honest, I really wish to play one or two more years with him – I really wish this. If it's his wish [too], fine, but I really wish [to stay] because he's a nice man."He wished me well [in the Afcon] so I really want to show him this love [by staying longer]. But if it's the end of my time with the club at the end of this season, so be it," he added.

WHAT WAS SAID

Nwabili and Chippa reached the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup where they will take on FC Ravens, as dates and venues are still to be confirmed by the PSL.Nwabali, meanwhile, is yet to receive concrete offers after an impressive display in the continental spectacle.
