Former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi’s move to Sekhukhune United has collapsed after the two parties failed to agree on personal terms.
The 35-year-old Nigerian shot-stopper was expected to make the switch to Babina Noko after leaving Amakhosi at the end of the season, but FARPost can confirm that the deal has fallen through.
Akpeyi is now rumored to be linked with a reunion move to his former club Chippa United, who are keen to re-sign him.
The Chilli Boys are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season after losing a number of key players, including Veluyeke Zulu, Beinvenu Eva Nga, and Azola Matrose.
Akpeyi made over 100 appearances for Chippa United between 2015 and 2018 before joining Kaizer Chiefs. He won the Nedbank Cup with Amakhosi in 2021 and was also named the club’s Player of the Season in 2020.
The experienced goalkeeper is still looking for a new club ahead of the new season, and it remains to be seen where he will end up.
Analysis:
Akpeyi’s failed move to Sekhukhune United is a blow to the club, who were hoping to add the experienced goalkeeper to their squad.
Babina Noko have already lost a number of key players in the transfer window, and they will need to find a replacement for Akpeyi if they want to compete for trophies next season.
Chippa United are also looking for a new goalkeeper, and they could be tempted to re-sign Akpeyi, who is a familiar face at the club.
Akpeyi is still a good goalkeeper, and he would be a valuable asset to any team in the DStv Premiership. It remains to be seen where he will end up, but he is sure to be in high demand.
Conclusion:
Daniel Akpeyi’s move to Sekhukhune United has collapsed, and the goalkeeper is now rumored to be linked with a reunion move to Chippa United.
Akpeyi is a valuable asset to any team in the DStv Premiership, and it remains to be seen where he will end up ahead of the new season.
