Stanley Nwabali, the goalkeeper for the Super Eagles, has become a sought-after player after his impressive performances at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Nwabali, who currently plays for Chippa United in the Premier Soccer League (PSL), has been linked with a potential move to Kaizer Chiefs.
During the AFCON tournament, Nigeria’s head coach, Jose Peseiro, appointed the 27-year-old as his first-choice goalkeeper over Francis Uzoho. Nwabali’s stellar performances, conceding only two goals in six matches against Equatorial Guinea and South Africa, have played a significant role in the Super Eagles’ success in the competition, offering them a chance to vie for the continental title, which they last won in 2013.
Nwabali’s agent, Mohammed Lawal, has hinted at potential offers from clubs in France and Saudi Arabia, attributing the interest to his client’s standout performances during the AFCON tournament. However, Lawal refrained from commenting on the rumored interest from Kaizer Chiefs, suggesting inquiries be directed to the club’s chairman for further details.
