Akpeyi Target League Title With Swallows

By Sampson Adedeji

Nigeria's Super Eagles goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has focused on winning the South Africa premier league title with Swallows before leaving the game, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Akpeyi joined the Dube Birds towards the end of the 2022/23 DStv Premiership season on a short-term deal and made an immediate impact.

He was a free agent for almost a season after parting ways with Kaizer Chiefs. Before heading to Swallows, he was heavily linked to ambitious Sekhukhune United and Stellenbosch FC however the deals fell through.

“I still believe I still want to win the league, I’m looking for that opportunity to be in a team where everybody’s dream is to win the league not just to compete.

“My plans are open, I opt to be in an environment where there is competition. I still hope that the mindset is to compete for the new season.

“Swallows FC was not on my mind, I wasn’t thinking that it was a club I will go to.

“I needed an environment where I can play and get back to the game before anything comes up. It wasn’t a plan", he said.
