Yanga SC are reportedly linked with a move for dangerous Al Hilal Omdurman winger Jean Claude Girumugisha as they continue planning for squad reinforcement ahead of next season.
The 21-year-old Burundian international has attracted attention from the Tanzanian champions due to his creativity, pace, and ability to effectively operate across multiple wide attacking positions.
Yanga SC management, through club president Eng. Hersi Said, is said to have already begun monitoring the player’s availability as part of efforts to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign.
However, a major obstacle in the potential deal is the transfer fee. Reports suggest that securing Girumugisha’s signature could cost more than 1 million US dollars, a figure that may require Yanga to significantly stretch their financial capacity.
Girumugisha, regarded as one of the most promising young talents on the African continent, still has a long-term contract with Al Hilal Omdurman and has impressed in CAF competitions, further increasing his market value.
Meanwhile, Yanga SC continue their broader strategy of strengthening the squad for both domestic and continental competitions next season, with a player of Girumugisha’s profile fitting the club’s long-term ambitions.
