He said: “As a professional I am ready to take up an offer provided the terms are okay by me.
“An opportunity to work in South Africa (in the Absa Premier League) is one that interests me, but like I said, I’m a professional and I am open to opportunities with the terms that will suit what I want.
“Right now I am not in a hurry to jump on any offer. I will take my time and make a decision about my future.”
Rumour about Keshi potential move to South Africa became rife after he signed a deal with a football agency in the country owned by Tim Sukazi.
Also, Sukazi’s comments in the South African media earlier this month had fuelled reports linking Keshi to a move to the Absa Premier League.
“I think Stephen Keshi’s arrival in South Africa will enhance the level of our game and this will give good exposure to our football. We are working very hard to find him a club and have mooted to club bosses his availability, but things are a bit slow, as expected, because the season is only wrapping up this month with one league game to go and we still don’t know who will be relegated,” Sukazi was quoted as saying earlier in May.

Keshi won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria and has also managed Mali and Togo.
He has been out of job since 2015 after he was sacked by the Nigeria Football Federation for allegedly submitting an application to be the head coach of the Ivory Coast national football team, while coaching the Super Eagles.
