Siphiwe keen to play in Europe

Johannesburg - Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siphiwe Tshabalala admits that he would like to move overseas, but would not be too upset if nothing goes through before the end of the transfer window.

Tshabalala has been linked with a number of European sides of late following an impressive World Cup with Bafana Bafana.

However, nothing concrete has materialised yet and the 25-year-old insists he will not become too disheartened if he is forced to stay at Naturena for the 2010/11 campaign.

Tshabalala told SAPA: "I am keen to play in Europe. I am not fussy in which country.

"What I want is to further my career but it will not be the end of the world if nothing comes up before the end of the transfer window (on August 31) as I am happy here at Chiefs."

Chiefs head coach Vladimir Vermezovic revealed that he may rest Tshabalala for this weekend's Telkom Charity Cup, but the former Free State Stars man is keen to take to the field once more at Soccer City - the scene of his famous strike against Mexico.

He added: "I will be available to play in the Telkom Charity Cup at Soccer City on Saturday.

"I am looking forward to playing on that pitch again.

"It has great memories and I would love to score for Chiefs there."

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
