In his bid to nip the goalkeeper crisis in the senior national team of Nigeria head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has made contact with Chippa United shot stopper Stanley Nwabali.
OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal that talks have taken place with the 27 year old and he has been added to the preliminary list of players called up for the start of the world cup qualifiers in November.
However there is no definite decision on his inclusion in the final list of 23 players for the game with Peseiro still keeping faith in the trio of Adebayo Adeleye, Maduka Okoye and first choice Francis Uzoho.
Speaking on the abilities of the former Enyimba of Aba shot stopper Rob Edwards said he is probably the second best goalkeeper only behind the first choice goalkeeper of the senior national team of South Africa Ronwen Williams.
” Nwabali is easily the second best goalkeeper in the PSL (Premier South Africa League). I will pick Williams Mamelodi Sundowns over but when you consider the teams they play for then you will have to respect Nwabali”, Edwards told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
” Take a look at his (Nwabali) numbers and you will see how identical it is to that of Williams. They both have five clean sheets from the first ten games of the season so far, even though one plays for a modest team while the other plays for a team that is about the best in the league”.
