Stanley Nwabali, the goalkeeper for the Super Eagles, has become a sought-after player after his impressive performances at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Nwabali, who currently plays for Chippa United in the Premier Soccer League (PSL), has been linked with a potential move to Kaizer Chiefs.

During the AFCON tournament, Nigeria’s head coach, Jose Peseiro, appointed the 27-year-old as his first-choice goalkeeper over Francis Uzoho. Nwabali’s stellar performances, conceding only two goals in six matches against Equatorial Guinea and South Africa, have played a significant role in the Super Eagles’ success in the competition, offering them a chance to vie for the continental title, which they last won in 2013.

Nwabali’s agent, Mohammed Lawal, has hinted at potential offers from clubs in France and Saudi Arabia, attributing the interest to his client’s standout performances during the AFCON tournament. However, Lawal refrained from commenting on the rumored interest from Kaizer Chiefs, suggesting inquiries be directed to the club’s chairman for further details.

High-ranking officials at Manchester United are expressing apprehension over the possibility of Thomas Tuchel encountering conflicts with the club’s leadership if he is appointed to replace Erik ten Hag.

Tuchel is set to depart from Bayern Munich at the conclusion of this season, a decision that was announced as early as February. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the new co-owner, along with his INEOS associates, are reportedly deliberating on Ten Hag’s future and considering potential replacements.

Among the candidates being discussed, Tuchel, who has previously managed Chelsea in the Premier League, has emerged as a prominent name.

However, as per reports from The Times, there are reservations regarding Tuchel’s track record of disagreements with higher-ups at his previous clubs. His tenure at Mainz ended in 2014 amid disputes with directors over transfer finances, while he was dismissed from Borussia Dortmund three years later due to a breakdown in trust between himself and the club’s board.
