Louw told FarPost that the goalkeeper has gotten about 12 offers and he knows the 27-year-old would defiitely not be at Chippa next season.
The coach said; “On physical hard copy paper, I don’t know how many offers he has received, but verbally, he has around 10 or even 12 offers. He is definitely not coming back to Chippa next season.
“When [Nwabali] arrived at Chippa, he wasn’t very proficient with his footwork, unable to play from the back. However, he has improved his footwork significantly.”
