AEK Athens Plans to Sign Two Midfielders, May Still Pursue Kings Kangwa

Kings Kangwa's future remains uncertain after his recent appearance in Hapoel Be'er Sheva's 2-1 loss to Vikingur, which may have influenced his potential transfer to AEK Athens. Although an agreement was reportedly reached for a 3.5 million euro transfer fee and salary terms, AEK Athens has not ruled out waiting before finalizing Kangwa's signing. Greek sports outlet Orton Sport reports that AEK intends to sign two midfielders this summer, prioritizing one who can immediately participate in the UEFA Champions League playoffs. The club still holds strong interest in Kangwa and may attempt to sign him later this summer or during the winter transfer window.

AEK's strategy involves acting on two fronts: securing a midfielder promptly for the Champions League campaign and possibly acquiring Kangwa afterward. Additionally, AEK might generate funds by selling left-back James Penrice to Celtic, which could provide significant financial support for coach Marko Nikolic's squad. The situation remains fluid as both clubs and the player await the next steps in the transfer process.
