Ex-Chiefs Star In High Demand As PSL Giants Shows Interest In His Services
Former Kaizer Chiefs player, Daniel Akpeyi, has become a highly sought-after talent in the South African football scene. Following his exceptional debut season with Moroka Swallows FC, one of the prominent teams in Soweto, Akpeyi has attracted the interest of several Premier Soccer League (PSL) giants.
After the conclusion of the 2021/22 campaign, Akpeyi’s tenure with Kaizer Chiefs came to an end. Seeking new opportunities, the Nigerian shot-stopper joined Moroka Swallows FC. However, due to a FIFA transfer ban at the time, Swallows could not secure his signing immediately.
Despite the initial delay in his acquisition, Akpeyi proved his worth to Moroka Swallows FC during his maiden season.
His performances between the goalposts significantly influenced the team’s fortunes. Since his appointment as their preferred number one goalkeeper, Swallows experienced a positive turnaround in their overall performance.
As a testament to Akpeyi’s outstanding abilities, Stellenbosch FC has expressed their interest in securing his services. Stellenbosch FC recognizes the need to strengthen their goalkeeping department for the upcoming season, and Akpeyi’s name has emerged as a potential solution to their requirements.
While other clubs may seek to acquire Akpeyi, Moroka Swallows FC has made it clear that they want to retain the talented shot-stopper.
Akpeyi’s contributions during the 2022/23 season have been invaluable to the club. Despite his relatively short time with Swallows, he has managed to maintain clean sheets and secure a top-eight spot, enabling the team to qualify for the prestigious MTN8 competition in the upcoming season.
Daniel Akpeyi’s remarkable performances have elevated his standing within the South African football community. His demand from rival clubs signifies the recognition of his exceptional skills and professionalism. As the transfer window approaches, Akpeyi faces potential opportunities and challenges in his career.
