Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly tracking the progress of Tanzanian forward Denis Kibu, who has been turning heads at Simba SC under the guidance of South African coach Fadlu Davids.
The 26-year-old striker has been in strong form in the Tanzanian Premier League and continental competitions, attracting interest from multiple clubs across Africa. Sources close to the player’s camp confirm that Chiefs are among the suitors monitoring his situation.
“Kaizer Chiefs have been watching Denis Kibu closely, but they’re not alone—Stellenbosch FC is also interested,” revealed an insider, speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity of transfer discussions.
Kibu, who joined Simba in 2021, recently extended his contract until June 2026, meaning any potential move would require a negotiated transfer fee.
Stellenbosch FC, known for scouting emerging African talent, view Kibu as a possible addition to bolster their ambitions of securing top-eight finishes and continental football. Meanwhile, AmaZulu FC had previously been linked with the striker, though their current level of interest remains unclear.
For Chiefs, Kibu fits the profile of a high-energy attacker as the club looks to revamp its squad ahead of the new season. While no formal offers have been made yet, Kibu’s name is expected to feature prominently in transfer talks as clubs prepare for the 2025/26 campaign.
