The Swallows shot-stopper has been instrumental for the Birds this season, helping the club not only retain their status, but also finish in the Top Eight.
The 36-year-old's performances have led to interest by Stellies, according to sources.
A Siya source has said that the Winelands side wants to have a strong goalkeeping department next season with the Nigerian believed to be on the club's radar.
"I think above everything else, they are looking at his experience. Look at how Swallows was performing before he started playing. No disrespect to the other players but the team improved alot after he had started playing," a source revealed to the Siya crew.

"I think that's why Stellies want him. To boost the goalkeeping department. I don't know and am not sure if they have already spoken to him or to Swallows because Swallows also made it clear that they want to keep him for a longer period beyond this season. And I think he owes them that much. But you know this is football and anything is possible. So Stellies want him and Swallows want to keep him as well," the source said.
