Dar es Salaam. Simba head coach Steve Barker remains confident that Malian striker Ibrahim Doumbia will eventually reproduce the scoring form that made him one of the most sought-after young forwards in Mali, despite the striker going four consecutive Mainland Tanzania Premier League matches without finding the net.
Doumbia, who joined Simba from AS Kôrôfina during the recent transfer window, has featured prominently in Barker’s plans since the beginning of the 2026/2027 campaign. However, his failure to score in the opening four league matches has started to attract attention, particularly given the expectations surrounding his arrival.
