Malawi women\u2019s national football team Sweden-based striker, Tabitha Chawinga, is set to join Chinese Club, Jiangsu Suning, from Kvarnsveden IK.<\/p>\n
Sweden sports websi t e , www.JWsports1.com<\/em>, reported that Chawinga would join the Chinese Women\u2019s Super League (CWSL) team following Kvarnsveden\u2019s relegation from the Scandinavian country\u2019s top-flight league.<\/p>\n \u201cChawinga has already signed a contract with Jiangsu. The top-flight Chinese side, whose recent big signings include Norwegian veteran Isabell Herlovsen, finished third in the just-ended 2017 CWSL season,\u201d JWSports1.com <\/em>indicates.<\/p>\n Last week, the former DD Sunshine striker was also nominated for the Best Forward and Most Valuable Player awards in the Sweden league.<\/p>\n Chawinga finished as the league\u2019s top goal scorer with 24 goals, 10 goals more than second top scorer Ella Masar.<\/p>\n The website added that several European clubs were interested in signing Chawinga, but she opted for China.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the expiration date of her contract at Kvarnsveden fast approaching, the club extended her contract till November 2018. The new contract had a release clause, though, which allowed Chawinga to leave in case Kvarnsveden got relegated,\u201d the website adds.<\/p>\n Kvarnsveden Chairperson, Olle Davidsson, confirmed to the website to have received bids from numerous clubs but refused to comment on the transfer.<\/p>\n Chawinga\u2019s sister, Temwa is still with the Swedish team after signing a two-year contract last month.<\/p>\n National Women Football Association Chairperson, Severia Chalira, described Chawinga\u2019s move as a great achievement.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is good for her, especially now that her team has been relegated. A player of her calibre does not deserve to play in the lower leagues. She needs to grow and I support her move to China,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The women\u2019s side of French giants, PSG, were also reportedly interested in Chawinga.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Malawi women\u2019s national football team Sweden-based striker, Tabitha Chawinga, is set to join Chinese Club, Jiangsu Suning, from Kvarnsveden IK.
