South African club side Chippa United have reportedly raised Stanley Nwabali's price after his excellent showing at AFCON 2023.

Nwabali has emerged as one of Nigeria's standout performers at AFCON 2023, solidifying his status as one of the tournament's best players. 

The 27-year-old, representing Chippa United in the South African league, has significantly elevated his reputation through consistently world-class performances in Cote d'Ivoire.

Nwabali has kept 3 clean sheets in his 4 appearances at AFCON so far, performing particularly well in the game against the hosts Ivory Coast, commanding his area brilliantly. 

At 27, he is just entering his prime, and his stock will rise further, should Nigeria's Super Eagles go all the way in Cote d'Ivoire.
