Akpeyi Urges Chiefs to Push for Nigeria International Signing
Former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has encouraged the Soweto giants to make a decisive move for a Nigeria international who has previously been linked with the club, insisting the player would be a strong addition to the squad.
Speaking on his time at Naturena and his understanding of the club’s ambitions, Akpeyi said Chiefs should not hesitate to reinforce their team with proven African talent. The ex-Bafana Bafana shot-stopper believes the Nigeria international in question has the quality, experience, and mentality required to succeed at one of South Africa’s biggest clubs.
“Kaizer Chiefs is a massive institution that demands players who can handle pressure and deliver consistently,” Akpeyi said. “From what I know about him, he has the discipline and hunger to fit into the Chiefs environment.”
Chiefs have been actively linked with several foreign-based players as they look to rebuild and challenge for major honours after inconsistent seasons. Akpeyi’s comments add weight to speculation that the club could once again turn to the Nigerian market, which has previously produced successful signings in the Premier Soccer League.
The former Chiefs goalkeeper also highlighted the importance of leadership and experience in the current squad, noting that established internationals can help guide younger players during demanding campaigns.
While the club has not confirmed any negotiations, Akpeyi’s endorsement is likely to spark further debate among supporters eager to see Chiefs return to their dominant best.
As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Naturena to see whether the club acts on Akpeyi’s advice and makes a serious push to secure the sought-after Nigeria international
