Chippa United and Nigeria Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has admitted that Kaizer Chiefs is the club he would love to play for in the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL).
Following his impressive outing for the Super Eagles at the 2023 AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire, Nwabali attracted interests from different clubs both locally and abroad.
Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs were the two local clubs being mentioned to be considering the Nigerian shot-stopper.
However, nothing materialised as Chiefs instead went to get Rwandan international Fiacre Ntwari from TS Galaxy and Pirates remained with Sipho Chaine and Melusi Buthelezi.
Nwabali again addressed the Chiefs rumours on Wednesday, admitting that a move to Chiefs would’ve interested him a lot.
“To be honest, Kaizer Chiefs is one of the clubs I really want to play for, this is a club I really want to play for in South Africa,” Nwabali told Ncube on MetroFM.
“Kaizer Chiefs is one of the clubs I wanted to play for with all my heart. I won’t say I’ve been supporting them but this is the club I felt like I want to play for.
“To be honest, the Rwanda guy [Ntwari] is really doing well with the club, I won’t take that away from him. That’s why I said Kaizer Chiefs was the club amongst all the clubs in South Africa I would like to join.”
Nwabali is in his third season at Chippa United after joining them in 2022.
This season he has made seven appearances for the South African side.
