Newly-crowned Tanzania Vodacom League champions Young Africans are keen to sign APR's Jean-Claude Iranzi and the club’s former midfielder Kabange Twite who currently plays for DR Congo's St Loi Lupopo.

The pair are wanted by former APR coach Ernie Brandts. It is reported that Yanga are willing to splash out Rwf18m on Kabange and another Rwf7m for Iranzi, who is also a target for Rayon Sports, according to reports. Yanga is one of the biggest and most successful football clubs in Tanzania.

They have won 23 league titles, 4 Tanzania Cups and 4 Cecafa Kagame Cups. Should the pair join Yanga, they will join Amavubi teammates Haruna Niyonzima and Mbuyu Twite, who joined the Dar es Salaam side back in 2010 and 2012 respectively.

Brandts wants to sign them as he was with them for two years in APR and won two league titles and Peace Cup as he prepares for next year’s CAF Champions League and the defence of the Kagame Cup.
