Super Eagle’s goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, has seen his transfer value skyrocket to a whopping N3.8 billion following his outstanding performance in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Nwabali saved two penalty shots in Nigeria’s semi-final match against South Africa.
The goalkeeper, who played a pivotal role in Super Eagle’s successful campaign during the African Cup of Nations, has garnered attention from several clubs both locally and abroad, resulting in a considerable increase in his market worth.
Following a couple AFCON matches, Nwabali was valued at 250,000 pounds on the transfer market.
Stanley Nwabali is now worth two million pounds (more than N3.8 billion), according to insiders at Chippa United.
Brilla.net reports that many clubs, including Union Saint Gilloise, are interested in Nwabali’s services.
