Super Eagles Legend Tips Kaizer Chiefs Target to Become One of Nigeria's Best

• A Super Eagles legend has predicted that Kaizer Chiefs transfer target Stanley Nwabali could end up being one of the best goalkeepers in the Nigerian national team history
• The former Real Madrid player claimed the Chippa United goalkeeper has all it takes to become the greatest goalkeeper for the Super Eagles after his consistent impressive performance
• The Nigerian international has consistently been linked with the Glamour Boys since his performance for Nigeria at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast early last year

Super Eagles legend Mutiu Adepoju has tipped Kaizer Chiefs target Stanley Nwabali to become one of the best goalkeepers in Nigeria's football history.

The former Real Madrid star believes the Chippa United goalkeeper has what it takes to achieve this feat in the future, as he is currently an undisputed starter in the Nigerian national team.

The Port Harcourt-born goalkeeper struggled to break into the Super Eagles setup at first, but he was brought back to the national team by José Peseiro and then displaced Maduka Okoye and Francis Uzoho to become the number one choice for the three-time African champions.
