Abia Nale’s future with Kaizer Chiefs is hanging in the balance after KickOff.com got an update from Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter about the player.

Nale was loaned out to Ajax Cape Town in January at his request after failing to break into Chiefs’ starting XI.

Baxter says the Sebokeng-born midfielder asked for the move because he wasn’t happy to be a squad member, and the Briton suggests Nale could be making a permanent switch – possibly to Ajax, who have expressed interest to keep him.

“We gotta sort out his situation. First we gonna look at who heads out and who comes, then look at what Abia wants,” Baxter explains.

“At this moment I’m not involved in that yet. We are just waiting to see what Ajax are doing – what Abia is thinking, but we have not made any big decisions on it yet. We still have to talk to him.

“He is a good player, but the only thing is Abia wasn’t really happy to be on the bench the last time and we can’t guarantee anybody a place in the team. So if he comes back and he is still unhappy to be on the bench, then it would create problems. We have to speak to him and make a careful decision.”
