Kaizer Chiefs Transfer News: Interest confirmed for AFCON star who is FREE

Kaizer Chiefs are set to strengthen their goalkeeping department in the off-season transfer window.

Brandon Petersen has been solid for the club but when called upon, his deputies Bruce Bvuma and Fiacre Ntwari haven’t delivered as anticipated. Reports have it that the club is considering letting Bvuma leave, while Ntwari will also be aiming at an exit in search of regular football.

Nigeria international Stanley Nwabali has been a long-term target for Chiefs for the last couple of seasons. The now 27-year-old who has starred in the last two Africa Cup of Nations for the Super Eagles, is a free agent since quitting Chippa United.

Former Nigeria goalkeeper Idah Peterside has now revealed Amakhosi are chasing Nwabali who will earn millions at the Naturena Village.

Kaizer Chiefs want Nwabali

“I’m aware of the Kaizer Chiefs interest, so if he signs a contract with Kaizer Chiefs, which I’m hearing he might, it’s unbelievable. And you know, sometimes when we say these South African teams, you’ll be shocked at how much Nwabali will earn. You will be absolutely shocked at what South African clubs pay.y,” he told SportsBoom.

“Kaizer Chiefs is one of the ‘Big Three’ teams in South Africa: Kaizer Chiefs, Pirates, and Sundowns. Any of these can comfortably look after you. It’s not just about playing football, my brother; it’s about your future and being comfortable.

“Let me give this in a nutshell: a South Africa can club can comfortably pay you $50,000 a month without sweating. So if he goes to Kaizer Chiefs, trust me, he will earn $100,000.

“You don’t just want to go and play in Greece where they pay you $6,000 or $7,000 USD and there is team in South Africa that can pay you $50,000. You just go to South Africa and play! The issue is that you are constantly playing as a goalkeeper,” Peterside added.
