Stanley Nwabali has attracted interest from a number of clubs following the 27-year-old’s impressive performances for Nigeria at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Chippa United goalkeeper is rumoured to be on the radar of Saudi Pro League side, Al-Ettifaq, and Queens Park Rangers in England, while Kaizer Chiefs are also said to be interested in signing him.

According to the Daily Post, Nwabali’s agent, Mohammed Lawal, has stated categorically that the Super Eagles goalkeeper’s next move will be determined by the club that will guarantee him playing time.

"Stanley has to be playing regularly for his new club so as not to affect his place in the Super Eagles. He showed at the AFCON [that] he has a place in the national team, and he wishes to stay there for as long as possible."
