Sani Faisal: Nigerian defender set to join Nwabali at Chippa United

In an intriguing development set to reshape the football landscape, Nigerian defender Sani Faisal is on the brink of a notable transition to South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) giants, Chippa United.

Currently plying his trade with Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Kano Pillars, Faisal seems to be finalizing all the necessary arrangements for his move to the renowned South African club.

Faisal, a seasoned player who has previously represented the Super Eagles, Nigeria’s national football team, is expected to link up with compatriot Stanley Nwabali at Chippa United, who is entering his second season with the team.

According to insider sources from South Africa, “Faisal Sani is close to concluding a deal with Chippa United. He is more than likely to play in South Africa next season.

He is a good defender, a left-back who has been on the radar of the Super Eagles. He is currently on the books of Kano Pillars in Nigeria but a move to Chippa has been agreed in principle for him.”

This imminent move will not only mark a significant chapter in Faisal’s career but also contribute to the growing number of Nigerian talents making their mark in international football.

Joining the likes of Daniel Akpeyi, James Okwuosa, and Augustine Kwem, Faisal is poised to carve his niche in the annals of Chippa United’s history, adding depth and skill to the team’s defensive lineup.
