Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali could be set for a fresh move in the coming weeks, according to new reports.
Nwabali has been without a club since leaving Chippa United after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in January. Despite strong performances for Nigeria and earlier interest from clubs such as Al Ettifaq and Queens Park Rangers, no deal was completed, leaving him as a free agent.
The former Enyimba goalkeeper is still widely rated as one of Africa’s top shot-stoppers, and his availability without a transfer fee has made him an attractive option for several clubs.
Reports say Tanzanian giants Simba SC are interested in strengthening their squad, while South African side Kaizer Chiefs have also been long-time admirers of the Nigerian goalkeeper.
Both clubs are expected to step up their plans once the current season ends, with African leagues entering their final stages.
For interested teams, signing Nwabali on a free transfer is seen as a major opportunity, given his experience and quality at international level.
The 29-year-old will also be hoping to regain his place as Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper under Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle, after recent matches saw him lose his starting role to Maduka Okoye.
Nwabali has built an impressive career, rising from local football in Nigeria to becoming the national team’s number one during major tournaments. A move to a top African club now looks likely as he searches for a new chapter in his career.
