SINGIDA Black Stars are pulling out all the stops to strengthen their team with a hot pursuit of Niger international winger Victorien Adebayor, aiming to make a significant impact from the start of the new campaign.

Reports within the club state Singida Black Stars are working tirelessly to complete this deal early to unveil the player in an international friendly against Aigle Noir of Burundi at the Big Day Festival on August 10 at Liti Stadium in Singida.

Adebayor (pictured) is famous in the Tanzania football scene after being linked with a move to Simba in 2022/2023, a move that did not go through after he joined RS Berkane of Morocco before moving to AmaZulu the following season.

"If everything goes well, this player will join Singida to play for the club next season. Adebayor is one of head coach Patrick Aussems's recommendations. So let's wait and see what happens in this deal," said the source.

Patrick Aussems’s men had an awful journey in the Kagame Cup journey, and they have played four friendly matches, securing a 3-0 victory against Police Tanzania, a 2-2 draw with ACA Eagles, a 2-1 loss to Dodoma Jiji FC, and a 2-0 loss against Namungo.

These matches have been crucial in assessing the team’s progress and areas needing improvement as Adebayor is identified as their solution to their attacking woes.

The club has been linked with the player who impressed while on loan at US Gendarmerie from AmaZulu. There's speculation that Adebayor might not return to South Africa.

Singida Black Stars' information officer, Hussein Massanza, confirmed that the club's roster is still under construction. Some players currently training with the team haven't yet signed official contracts. 

Massanza also hinted at potential player departures, promising exciting developments as the squad takes shape.

"Singida Black Stars are set to loan out some players, but there will be big surprises when everything is finalized. We are working hard to reach the needs of coach Aussems so that we can have a good season," said Massanza.

"We will reveal the said players but for now I think the best answer is to encourage our fans to expect good things. We have just completed our training camp in Arusha and are now returning to Singida for our festival which will be monumental."

Massanza also noted that the Big Day Festival match will be a significant event, featuring various entertainment activities and serving as a crucial preparation for the season ahead.

For the team, Aussems is diligently working to build a formidable Singida Black Stars FC squad through strategic friendly matches. His focus on both attacking and defensive aspects aims to ensure the team is well-prepared for the competitive season ahead.

With the support of fans and the continuous refinement of strategies, Aussems hopes to lead Singida Black Stars FC to a successful campaign in the Tanzania Mainland Premier League.
