Toulouse are being linked with a move for Hibernian defensive midfielder Miguel Chaiwa, with the Zambian’s future in Scotland uncertain amid the possibility he could become a free agent.
The 21-year-old, who wears the number 14 shirt for Hibs, is listed with no confirmed contract expiry date, fuelling speculation that the Ligue 1 club could attempt to prise him away from the Scottish Premiership side or potentially move if his deal runs down and he is available as a free agent.
Chaiwa, a right-footed holding midfielder, has a current estimated market value of €1.20m, according to figures last updated on 14 May 2026. The reported probability of a switch to Toulouse is unclear, with the transfer listing marked only as “?” for likelihood, underlining that talks – if any – are at a very early and speculative stage.
Born in Luanshya, Zambia, on 7 June 2004, Chaiwa has developed a reputation at Easter Road as a defensive screen in front of the back line, operating primarily in the anchoring role at the base of midfield. Standing at 1.79m, he has been used to break up play and recycle possession in the Scottish Premiership.
In Hibernian’s recent fixtures in the current campaign – including their latest league outing, where he featured in his customary deep-lying role in a tight match against Premiership opposition – Chaiwa has continued to gain senior experience, though detailed individual match statistics have not been publicly specified in the available data.
Having already taken the step into European club football with Hibs, a move to Toulouse would represent a switch into one of Europe’s top five leagues. If a deal does materialise, whether via transfer fee or as a free agent should his contract situation allow, it could prove a significant staging post in Chaiwa’s career and a key moment in shaping his reputation on the continental stage.
