Zambia defensive midfielder Miguel Chaiwa of Hibernian FC is being linked with a switch to French Ligue 1 side Toulouse, with his contractual situation at Easter Road adding to speculation over his future.
The 22-year-old, valued at €3.00m on Transfermarkt, is attracting interest from the French club according to the latest transfer listings dated 15 June 2026, though the reported probability of the move remains unclear and is currently marked as “?”. Chaiwa’s deal at Hibs has no published expiry date, raising the prospect that he could run down his terms and leave as a free agent if no extension is agreed.
Born in Luanshya on 7 June 2004, the right-footed midfielder has built a reputation in Scotland’s Premiership as a specialist in the holding role, operating primarily as a defensive midfielder and wearing the number 14 shirt for Hibernian. Standing at 1.79m, he has been used as the shield in front of the back line, a profile that would fit Toulouse’s preference for disciplined, ball-winning options at the base of midfield.
Recent Transfermarkt data lists his nationality solely as Zambian, with Hibernian noted as both his current club and his most recent senior side. Detailed contract terms, including the date he joined and when his current deal ends, are not disclosed, which will only fuel rumours of a potential cut-price deal or pre-contract scenario further down the line.
Chaiwa’s latest appearances for Hibs in the Scottish Premiership are not broken down in the available data, and no specific recent match – including opponent, date, scoreline or individual performance – is recorded in the current dataset.
With Toulouse monitoring the situation and Chaiwa’s market value still relatively modest for a top-five league, a move to France this window would represent a significant step up and could prove decisive in shaping the trajectory of his career in European football.
