Kaizer Chiefs had the opportunity to sign Nigeria and Chippa goalkeeper Stanlew Nwabali this season but opted against it. Why?
. Nwabali’s name started travelling further afield after a string of stellar performances for Nigeria at Afcon 2023 where he kept four clean sheets. The Super Eagles went all the way to the final, losing to hosts Ivory Coast. His standout moment was penalty shootout heroics against Bafana Bafana in the semi-finals. This season in the league,“The reasoning from Chiefs was that there’s a certain profile of a goalkeeper they’re looking for.
”“You know there are other things which both parties need to agree on and that is what was discussed today. I can’t say how far it went today but the deal is very close at the moment. Coach Nabi has his own people who he wants to bring and the team is also providing some technical team members and that’s what they have to agree and compromise on. He wants his own assistant coach, goalkeeper coach and fitness trainer. I think if they can cross that bridge then the deal will be as good as done.
