Questions have been mounting regarding Simba's dangerous attacking midfielder Elie Mpanzu, who has yet to join his teammates at the ongoing pre-season camp in Egypt.
Initially, it was reported that the Congolese player would travel with the second group of Simba players who left Dar es Salaam early yesterday, but that did not happen.
Reliable information from Simba’s management reveals that Mpanzu requested permission to handle personal family matters before heading to Egypt.
The skillful winger is expected to arrive in Egypt at any moment to join his teammates after resolving the challenges he was facing.
Rumors linking him with a move to rivals Yanga have no basis, as he still has one and a half years remaining on his contract with Simba.
The only way Mpanzu can leave Simba is if a formal offer is submitted and accepted by the club’s management—he cannot leave unprocedurally.
