Chippa United’s Stanley Nwabali, who has been linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs, is a wanted man.
Stanley Nwabali, the Super Eagles goalkeeper, is a man in demand at the moment following his impressive displays at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Chippa United’s Stanley Nwabali, who has been linked with a move to Kaizer Chiefs, is a wanted man.
Nwabali is currently Chippa United’s first-choice stopper in the Premier Soccer League, PSL.
Nigeria head coach, Jose Peseiro, decided to make the 27-year-old his no1 ahead of Francis Uzoho for the AFCON tournament.
Nwabali has played six matches so far and conceded just two goals against Equatorial Guinea and South Africa.
His heroics have given Super Eagles a chance in the continental competition, a tournament they last won in 2013.
Nwabali’s agent, Mohammed Lawal, has now hinted at a big move for the player.
“There is interest in France and Saudi Arabia. There is no surprise because of his performance during the Afcon tournament in Ivory Coast,” Lawal said as quoted by SNL24.
“I have only seen [Kaizer Chiefs links] in newspapers. I cannot comment on anything regarding local interest, please speak to the chairman of the club.”
