Could Darboe Be The Next Foreign Hitman In The PSL?

Could Darboe Be The Next Foreign Hitman In The PSL?

With the 2025/26 Betway Premiership kicking off this past weekend, clubs across the league are already weighing up their early-season performances and identifying areas that need reinforcing ahead of what promises to be an exciting and challenging first half of the campaign.

One name that could soon be in the conversation is Gambian striker Dembo Darboe, according to sources.

While not officially linked to any particular team at this stage, Siya sources indicate that the 26-year-old’s representatives are actively exploring opportunities in the Betway Premiership before the transfer window closes in September.

Darboe, currently a free agent, has enjoyed a productive career in various leagues across Europe and Asia, with stints in Belarus, North Macedonia and Kazakhstan, where he developed a reputation for his pace, work rate and eye for goal.

His experience at both domestic and continental level could make him a valuable addition for a club seeking to sharpen its attacking options.

With the opening weekend of the league providing an early gauge of squad strengths and weaknesses, some teams may be tempted to bolster their forward lines before the window slams shut.

A proven finisher who is match-ready and available without a transfer fee is always an attractive proposition – and Darboe fits that bill.

Whether a move materialises will depend on how quickly clubs act and if the right fit can be found, but for now, the former Shkupi and Astana man remains a name to watch as the PSL market continues to heat up in the final weeks of the window.
