Nwabali has reportedly drawn interest from English Championship side Queens Park Rangers and Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ettifaq.

Kaizer Chiefs have also been linked with the Nigerian international as they search for a replacement for Itumeleng Khune, whose future at the club looks uncertain.

“We are talking to a few clubs abroad,” Mpengesi told iDiski Times.

“We also believe that he (Nwabali) needs something better, especially after the performance that he showed at the AFCON in Ivory Coast.

“You know, being number two, they (Nigeria) were runner-ups, he (Nwabali) was number two, second best goalkeeper of AFCON.

“So if the opportunity comes especially abroad, of course even if it comes locally and the offer is for him (Nwabali), it’s not even for us. If the offer for him is better then we are not going to hold on to him.”

Nwabali’s recent clean sheet in Chippa’s Nedbank Cup quarter-final match against TS Galaxy last week highlights his value as a goalkeeper, and he is expected to remain in goal for Chippa United when they face SuperSport on Saturday (today).
