Simba SC continues to strengthen its transfer plans ahead of the 2026/27 season, with the club reportedly making progress in its pursuit of Sekhukhune United winger Keletso Makgalwa from South Africa.
Reports from South Africa indicate that Simba is among the clubs closely monitoring the attacking winger, who has emerged as one of the most creative players in the South African Premier League.
Makgalwa is said to be a recommendation from Simba head coach Steve Barker, who is working on improving the team's attacking options, particularly in wide areas.
Barker believes the player's pace, creativity, and ability to create scoring opportunities could add more strength to Simba's attacking department.
A fast winger with goal-creating ability
Makgalwa, a South African national, is a right-footed winger who often prefers starting from the left flank, allowing him to use his speed, dribbling ability, and movement into central areas to create chances.
During the 2025/26 season with Sekhukhune United, he produced impressive performances and contributed to several goals for the team. Statistics show that he finished the campaign as an influential creative player, providing numerous assists and ranking among the squad's top chance creators.
Reports indicate that Simba has already reached personal terms with the player, with the remaining discussions focused on reaching an agreement with his current club, Sekhukhune United.
Barker has placed strong emphasis on improving Simba's wing options, with his tactical approach requiring players capable of creating chances from wide positions.
Simba already benefits from the presence of wingers Anicet Oura and Libasse Gueye, who have contributed through their ability to create opportunities and score goals.
The performances of Oura and Gueye have influenced Barker's decision to change Elie Mpanzu's role, with the player featuring more as a central striker in the final matches of the season.
