Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali insists he is not pining over a failed move to Kaizer Chiefs.
The Nigerian shot-stopper became a target for Amakhosi following his heroics for his country at the recent Africa Cup of Nations.
Nwabali helped the Super Eagles to a runners-up medal against Afcon hosts Ivory Coast, in January.
He also kept 11 clean sheets in all competitions last term as the Chilli Boys ended their 2023/24 season in 12th place on the league standings.
Nwabali told iDiski Times: “I wouldn’t say I was really affected by what happened after last season and after the Afcon because it’s football.
“Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t work but as a footballer, one thing is for sure 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.”
