As the return to pre-season gains momentum across the country, the name of Nelson Djembe has begun circulating among those keeping an eye on the player movement scene in the lead up to the 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign.
The Siya crew has picked up whispers that Djembe, who has remained unattached since his previous stint abroad, could be offered to clubs in Mzansi’s topflight in the coming days.

With most teams now deep into their preparations ahead of the new season, the timing could be ideal for a player looking to reignite his career in a competitive league like the Premiership.
While no official confirmations have surfaced from clubs at this stage, speculation suggests that intermediaries are expected to present Djembe’s profile to technical teams who are still weighing their options in finalising squad lists for the upcoming campaign.
Known for his versatility and physical presence in midfield, the player may appeal to sides seeking depth in the engine room or looking for experienced reinforcements.
Djembe has previously been linked with a move to South Africa, though talks in past windows have not materialised into a deal.

However, with the new season set to kick off early next month, a number of clubs are believed to be open to trialling or shortlisting available talent, particularly if the financial terms are favourable.
At this point, it remains to be seen whether interest in Djembe will result in concrete opportunities or whether he will need to wait longer to secure a move. The next few weeks will be crucial, as technical teams evaluate their squads in pre-season matches and injury concerns begin to shape transfer decisions.
