Stanley Nwabali has opened up on rumours linking him with a move to Kaizer Chiefs.
Nwabali starred for Chippa United in the South African League last season.
The Nigeria international kept 11 clean sheets across all competitions for the Chilli Boys in the 2023/24 campaign.
The 28-year-old also caught the eye with his exemplary displays for Nigeria at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
There was also strong interest in the shot stopper from overseas but Kaizer Chiefs were labelled favourites to secure his services.
Nwabali however stayed with Chippa United, signing a new three-year contract last month.
He was also named the new captain of the club.
“I wouldn’t say I was really affected by what happened after last season and after the AFCON because it’s football,” Nwabali told iDiski Times when asked about the Chiefs rumours.
“Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t work but as a footballer one thing for sure is that deals come and deals also crash.
“But one thing I know is that even with all this happening you don’t have to lose your value as a soccer player.”
