Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca are turning their attention to Nigerian forward Isaac Success after being linked with Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, Soccernet.ng reports.

According to Africa Foot, the three-time CAF Champions League winners are in advanced talks with Success, who is currently under contract with Al Wasl in the United Arab Emirates.

The 29-year-old is seen as a key target to strengthen Raja’s attacking options as they seek to bounce back from a disappointing campaign.

Success is no stranger to top-level football. After developing his game in Nigeria, he earned a move to Europe, featuring for La Liga sides Granada and Malaga before making his mark in the Premier League with Watford.
