Heltone Kayembe: AEL Limassol linked with Les Aigles defender

DR Congo centre-back Heltone Kayembe, who plays for Les Aigles, is the subject of a transfer rumour linking him with Cyprus League club AEL Limassol.

The 25-year-old defender has been with Les Aigles since August 2023, when he joined from fellow DR Congo club Maniema. He had previously played for JS Kinshasa before moving to Maniema in 2021.

Kayembe’s current club is FC Les Aigles du Congo, where he has been registered since 2023. There has been no indication of a confirmed agreement, leaving the proposed move at the rumour stage.
