The agent of Super Eagles goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi said his client could leave South Africa PSL side Kaizer Chiefs for Belgium in the summer as reported by some news outlets in South Africa.
Akpeyi has surprised many with his performance for Kaizer Chiefs before the league was suspended due to the outbreak of coronavirus as he won four man of the match award in his last ten games for the team in league and cup games.
Despite his heroics some section of Kaizer Chiefs faithful still prefer Itumeleng Khune in goal to the Nigerian and they are quick to pounce on the Nigerian when he makes a mistake. The bittersweet relationship could hasten his departure according to Mohammed Lawal.
” I think the coach of Kaizer Chiefs has shown his faith in Akpeyi more than most connected to the team. That should be enough but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. For now he is opened to the idea of leaving and yes we have interest in him from Belgium “, Lawal who represents the shot stopper told Owngoalnigeria.com
” Not just in Belgium but some clubs in North Africa and Eastern Europe have also indicated their interest. He is a player of Kaizer Chiefs and any decision on his future will have to be agreed by all. He is settled and happy in South Africa but we’ll see in the summer “, he concluded.
Reports in South Africa says it will take as high as 40 to 45 million Rands ($2.5m) to price him from the Amakhosi , the team he joined from fellow South African side Chippa United last summer as cover for injured Khune who has since returned to full fitness.
