Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has opened up about the rumours surrounding his potential move to PSL side Kaizer Chiefs.

After an impressive display at the 2023 African Cup of Nations, Nwabali attracted interest from PSL side Kaizer Chiefs, Queens Park Rangers, and clubs from the Saudi Pro League.

Chippa United recently confirmed that they had received over 10 offers for the former Enyimba FC goalkeeper.

Despite drawing interest from several clubs, the Super Eagles shot-stopper extended his stay at the club, penning a new three-year deal with the Chilli Boys.

In a recent development, the Super Eagles’ number one disclosed that he thought he was going to leave the club but understands the dynamics and disappointment surrounding player transfers.

“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, as per Completesports.

“Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but as a footballer, one thing is for sure: 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.

“With everything that happened, I even felt like I was going to leave the club, but I’m still with the club, so it doesn’t change anything.”
