Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has emerged as a transfer target for Tanzanian Premier League side Azam FC, with South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs also in the race for his signature, according to reports.

The 29-year-old Nigerian shot-stopper has been without a club since February after terminating his contract with Chippa United midway through the season.
