Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has dropped a major hint about his future at Chippa United amid links with Premier Soccer League rivals Kaizer Chiefs.

The Nigerian international has been a target for various clubs since his stellar performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where he was among the best players.

The former Enyimba star also had an excellent season with the Chilli Boys in the DStv Premiership, keeping 12 clean sheets in 29 appearances.

Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq have made an enquiry about the possibility of signing the Nigerian goalkeeper, with Queens Park Rangers also doing the same.

On the final day of the PSL season, Nwabali claimed he wants to play for a big club and is considering leaving Chippa United this summer, according to a report by FARPost.

"Well, everyone would love to leave because when you are in some position, you need to grow," he said.

"Like everyone in my position, I would like to grow more. I'm talking about clubs higher than this [bigger than Chippa United] because I have been giving my all to my club this season.

"I just wish to have another challenge at some other place."

The 27-year-old is also a transfer target for Kaizer Chiefs, who are searching for Itumeleng Khune's replacement after the Bafana Bafana legend parted ways with the club.

Nwabali linked with Kaizer Chiefs

Sports Brief earlier reported that Nwabali was barely known before the AFCON 2023, where he made his name with Nigeria.

Chippa United's goalkeeping coach recently disclosed that the Nigerian international wanted a move to Chiefs, and his childhood dream was to play for Amakhosi.

The 27-year-old has arguably been the second-best goalkeeper in South Africa in the last two years behind Mamelodi Sundowns star Williams.
