Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly seeking to acquire Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali during the January transfer window to address their defensive shortcomings.
Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly reigniting their interest in Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali as the January transfer window nears. The Soweto giants, struggling with defensive issues this season, view the Nigerian shot-stopper as a potential remedy. Nwabali has been on Chiefs’ radar since last season, attracting attention from clubs both in the PSL and internationally.
However, Chippa United secured his services with a new three-year contract, entrusting him to spearhead their resurgence under head coach Kwanele Kopo. His performances have propelled his side into serious contention for Top 8 spots, challenging teams like Golden Arrows and Sekhukhune United. Conversely, Kaizer Chiefs’ defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed, conceding 13 goals in just nine games—the league’s highest tally—and failing to register a clean sheet. Head coach Nasreddine Nabi has experimented with goalkeepers Fiacre Ntwari, Brandon Peterson, and Bruce Bvuma without success. Following their recent 1-1 draw with TS Galaxy, Nabi openly acknowledged the need for reinforcements. “We feel that we’re very far from the level of Kaizer Chiefs. We need to work hard, we need to strengthen the team,” he stated, emphasizing the urgency for defensive stability. Sources indicate that Nwabali is again at the top of Chiefs’ priority list. “Chiefs are interested in Nwabali again. Expect the club to exert significant effort in acquiring his signature this time. The team’s defensive record is a cause for concern for both the technical team and management, and they will dedicate the next few weeks to exploring a viable solution,” a source revealed. As January approaches, Kaizer Chiefs are preparing for a determined pursuit of Stanley Nwabali, aiming to bolster their vulnerable defense with the experienced Chippa United captain. Nwabali’s impressive leadership and proven goalkeeping abilities have solidified his position as a highly sought-after target
