Chukwu, who currently plays for Singida Black Stars, is approaching the end of his contract and has become one of the most sought-after players in the Tanzanian Premier League. However, there has been no official statement from the player or his representatives regarding Esperance’s reported interest.
The Nigerian playmaker has been instrumental for coach Miguel Gamondi’s side, earning praise for his composure, tactical discipline, and ability to control the tempo of matches. His performances have not gone unnoticed by scouts across the continent.
Meanwhile, Tanzanian giants Simba SC are also reportedly keeping tabs on Chukwu as they look to reinforce their midfield. Sources within the club suggest that Chukwu tops Simba’s transfer shortlist, following concerns about their midfield consistency in recent fixtures.
With his contract expiring soon and strong interest from both domestic and international clubs, Chukwu’s future remains one of the most talked-about transfer stories in East African football. If the move to Esperance materializes, it would mark a major step forward in the Nigerian midfielder’s career and a significant signing for the Tunisian champions as they strengthen their squad for upcoming continental campaigns.
