JS Kabylie Overview

The transfer battle for the highly-rated winger’s signature has finally been settled, but the details behind his decision to join Simba over bitter rivals Yanga have only now come to light. Despite heavy interest from the newly appointed head coach, the former Mamelodi Sundowns attacker opted for a move that prioritised his future security.

Mlungisi ‘Professor’ Ngubane has argued that swapping two players and cash for the 21-year-old attacker is unreasonable, especially since he believes Phili's style of play is unsuitable for the Naturena club.

Former Amakhosi goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has weighed in on the 30-year-old’s surprising decision to return to the Chilli Boys for the upcoming season. After appearing to be on the verge of a high-profile move following his heroics for Nigeria during the last AFCON finals, the shot-stopper has instead opted for familiar surroundings in the Eastern Cape.

The Tanzanian giants have reportedly emerged as contenders in pursuit of Stellies' 21-year-old forward. Coach Manqoba Mngqithi is eager to bolster his squad with proven talent he knows well, particularly after losing out on a reunion with a former Mamelodi Sundowns star, who is set to join rivals Simba.
