Simba club is expected to sign Brazilian goalkeeper Caique Luiz Santos da Purificacao who plays for Ypiranga FC
After parting ways with Beno Kakolanya while goalkeeper number one Aishi Manula is expected to be out for four months after undergoing surgery in South Africa, Simba has had to sign another goalkeeper
25-year-old Caique, born on July 31, 1997 in the city of Salvador in Brazil, currently plays for Ypiranga RS that participates in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie C League, similar to the First League here in Tanzania as the number one goalkeeper
The 6ft 5in goalkeeper grew up at ES Victoria's academy in 2016, before leaving to join Brazil's CSA alongside Ermis Aradippou of Cyprus and Rochester NY of the United States at different times and seasons.
Caique was the number one goalkeeper of the Brazilian national team for players under the age of 20 (Brazil U-20), in 2016 and 2017 participating in various international championships to show that he is experienced enough
While he was in the national team, he had other stars who are currently rising in world football including Richarlison de Andrade of Tottenham, Douglas Luiz of Aston Villa, Lucas Paqueta of West Ham and Gabriel Magalhes of Arsenal
Initially, Simba was linked to Al Hilal goalkeeper Issa Fofana but it has been difficult to get his services after Al Hilal refused to sell him
