Kaizer Chiefs Set To Rely on Bruce Bvuma After Ending Interest in Chippa Shotstopper Stanley Nwabali

• Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs have shown an interest in Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali
• Chippa have placed a big price tag on the Nigerian goalkeeper, who impressed at the Afcon for runners-up Nigeria
• Fans feel Kaizer Chiefs do not need to spend big as the side has enough quality in their goalkeeping ranks

Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly ended their interest in Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali as the price tag was too high for Amakhosi.

The Soweto side said they were impressed by Nwabali's abilities but the R30 million ransom Chippa is demanding has proven to be an obstacle.

A source told Soccer Laduma that Chiefs ended their interest in the Nigerian shotstopper and could rely on current Bafana goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma.

The source said:

"Stanley Nwabali is one of the players that the club has been monitoring. But there seems to be a problem as Chippa are looking to cash in on Nwabali. The club is looking for around R30 million for him and at that value, not many clubs will be able to afford him, especially in South Africa."

Chiefs have options

The source added Chiefs have options within their ranks to replace Nwabali, who broke female fans' hearts with a video of him kissing his wife.

"The good thing for Chiefs is that Bruce Bvuma has been doing well of late, and there’s also Brandon Petersen waiting in the queue for his chance."

After Chiefs decided to end their pursuit of Nwabali, fans took to social media to support their decision as they believe the team has better options.

Agber Iorver Victor thinks Nwabali should head for Europe:

"I wish the club in Europe should sign him, not an African club."

James Segoati says Chiefs need to fix other departments:

"Chiefs need regular goalscorers and not another goalkeeper."

Phehello Sepampuru thinks Nwaabali is overrated:

"We all know he's not a good goalkeeper."

Sthulile Mntukabani Msuthu says Bvuma is the man for the job:

"Since the introduction of Bvuma and the absence of Dithlokwe or whoever he is, Chiefs has kept 5 clean sheets in 6 games. It appears now the problem is in offence."

Morekwana Noko thinks buying Nwabali will be a bad idea:

"That will be a biggest mistake."
