Stanley Nwabali is attracting fresh transfer attention following confirmation that Tanzanian giants Simba Sports Club are monitoring his situation ahead of a possible move.

n

The Super Eagles goalkeeper has been without a club since leaving Chippa United in February, and his free-agent status has made him a target for several teams across Africa.

n

East African football agent Edgah Mitemah confirmed to Footy-Africa that Simba have already made enquiries about the 28-year-old, noting that the club is actively searching for a new goalkeeper.

n

“Yes, I am aware Simba are looking to sign a goalkeeper, and Nwabali is one of those who has come on their radar at the moment. I think he will be a huge addition to the Tanzanian league because of his profile, even though I still do not understand why he left Chippa United when he did,” he said.

n

Mitemah also indicated that interest in the Nigerian international is not limited to Simba, with other clubs also reportedly keeping tabs on him.

n

“There are other clubs like Azam FC who might rival Simba for the goalkeeper, while I am also aware of Kaizer Chiefs’ admiration for him,” Mitemah said.

n

“They have been tracking him for some time now. He is a free agent, so it will be easier for Simba to sign him, and I believe the signing-on fee they may offer could tempt him to join.”

n

According to the agent, the situation could develop quickly in the coming days.

n

“They are interested, and the next few days will be very interesting. I will keep you updated with the latest news on the potential move to Tanzania as soon as I have more information,” he added.

n

Nwabali, who has been training individually since his exit from Chippa United, rose to prominence after his performances for Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations, where the Super Eagles secured a bronze medal.

n

Despite earlier links to clubs in Saudi Arabia and the South African league, the goalkeeper is yet to secure a new team, leaving his next move open as interest from across the continent continues to grow.
