…says Nwabali Loved At Chippa United
Nnamdi Nwaeze, agent to Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali said that his client has a running contract with Chippa United amidst transfer rumours to clubs, Silvernews.com.ng reports.
Nweze, who first discovered Nwabali in Rivers State, Nigeria during a local football tournament noted that the Super Eagles shot-stopper, who impressed football lovers at the 2023 AFCON is loved at his club in South Africa.
According to him, Nwabali has always been a great goalkeeper right from his days at Go-Round FC down to top NPFL clubs such as Enyimba FC, Lobi Stars, Katsina United etc.
The Ohaofia-Agba, Ebonyi State born agent added that Nwabal is a divine project, who have always believed in himself to become a top class goalkeeper.
“The threats are not a problem. The Chippa’s fans love him and have been sending lot’s of messages that they can’t wait to have him back. The threat is not as much as the media speculated.
“In terms of moving, the decision lies with the club because he has a contract with Chippa United. He just signed a three-year contract. It is something we will discuss with the Chairman of Chippa United on whether he stays or he moves. Chippa United has much decision to make because he has a contract with them.
“Nwabali is a divine project that took some time to come to limelight. It’s been a while we know each other but one thing about him is that from day one, he always believes in himself, his quality.
“Apart from when he wanted to move from Go-Round to Enyimba, he saw the quality of goalkeepers there and was a bit afraid but I tried to encourage him that he has all it takes and that he must go to Enyimba.
“Then he picked up courage and believed in himself and never doubted his ability and I know from time that one day Nwabali will become a national goalkeeper because he has all it takes to be a top class goalkeeper. I never knew this AFCON is the tournament for him to break out.
“This AFCON wasn’t the first time Nwabali is representing Nigeria in international level. Apart from being an Enyimba goalkeeper, he went a season without a defeat at Enyimba because of Nwabali.
“Salisu Yusfu was the first man that picked interest in Nwabali and invited him to the national team for the Home Based Super Eagles. Then he was with Katsina United. Since he left for Chippa United, they no longer consider him as an Home Based player.
“Before now, some of the Super Eagles coaches knew him very well. It wasn’t that difficult to convince Jose Peseiro since we are having goalkeepers issues and that we have someone in South Africa who can help to solve this problem.”
