Zambian midfielder Kings Kangwa is being linked with a move from Hapoel Beer Sheva to AEK Athens, according to transfer data listing the Greek side as his potential next destination.
The 26-year-old central midfielder, currently playing in Israel’s Ligat ha’Al, is the subject of speculation involving a switch to Greece’s Super League 1, with AEK named as the interested club. His current market value is given as €3.00m, a figure that will frame any negotiations if the rumour develops. The reported probability of the transfer is listed only as “?”, indicating that the move remains at an early and uncertain stage.
Publicly available information does not show an expiry date for Kangwa’s contract with Hapoel Beer Sheva, leaving open the possibility that his situation could evolve in a way that allows a free move, though no mechanism for any deal is specified. Kangwa rejoined the Israeli club’s senior side in 2024 after a spell with Red Star Belgrade, reinforcing a connection that dates back to a loan with Hapoel Beer Sheva’s under-19s team in 2017-18.
Born in Kasama on 6 April 1999, the 1.70m right-footed midfielder has built a varied career across several leagues. After emerging with Happy Heart Football Academy and Buildcon FC in Zambia, he moved to Arsenal Tula in Russia in 2019, before switching to Red Star Belgrade in 2022. A loan stint at Belgian side KV Kortrijk in the 2023-24 season added further European experience.
Kangwa’s market value has risen steadily at Hapoel Beer Sheva, from €1.80m at the end of 2024 to €3.00m by mid-2025, reflecting his growing reputation. Should a transfer to AEK Athens materialise, it would mark the next step in a career that has progressively moved through higher-profile European environments and could further shape his standing as one of Zambia’s leading midfield exports.
