Stanley Nwabali opens up on his failed move away from Kaizer Chiefs
Super Eagles first-choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali opened up about his failed move away from South African Premier League club Kaizer Chiefs while the transfer window was still active.
The 28-year-old shot-stopper who has signed a three-year contract extension with Kaizer Chiefs and was also appointed as the club’s new captain said that he thought he was going to leave the club at some stage last season due to his performances.
Nwabali stated that the club inquired about him, especially after the last African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast but after all, he ended up extending his contract with Kaizer Chiefs.
The player who was speaking with the South African media also disclosed that sometimes transfers work and sometimes it does not work but whatever happens one has to be focused.

“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 is 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.
“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.”
