South Africa’s Premier Soccer League (PSL) giants Kaizer Chiefs are interested in Chippa United Nigerian goalkeeper Stanley Nwabili.
Nwabali made the Super Eagles’ final 25-man squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire thanks to his impressive form for Chippa United.
He has seven clean sheets in the South African Premier Division this season, only Mamelodi Sundowns keeper Ronwen Williams has more.

With the uncertain goalkeeping situation at Kaizer Chiefs, the 27-year-old has emerged as one of the frontrunners to challenge Bruce Bvuma for the first choice spot.
According to SoccerLaduma, via thesouthafrican.com Chiefs could make a move for him in January.
They might have to wait until after the Super Eagles return from the AFCON.
Nwabali will battle for the first choice position with Francis Uzoho and Olorunleke Ojo in Côte d’Ivoire.
His only national team appearance was in a 4-0 loss to Mexico in a friendly game in 2021.

Imagine not inviting a goalkeeper from a Serie A club to AFCON.
Great performance and a Clean sheet from Maduka Okoye against Bologna
