FOOTBALL Vipers circling for former KCCA FC left back
Talks between the defender and Vipers president Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa have reportedly taken place on multiple occasions, with the player seemingly persuaded to join the Venoms.
And having spent last season on loan at KCCA FC, managing five goals and eight assists as the Kasasiro Boys finished second in the Startimes Uganda Premier League, it is no surprise that the club would not mind squeezing more juice out of the sleeky playmaker.
Club CEO Anisha Muhoozi might have provided a hint while appearing on NBS Sport Tuesday night.
She said: “We can’t deny the relationship between Allan Okello and KCCAFC, he is a darling of the club.”
Following Okello’s announcement that his contract with Paradou had been terminated, the conversation about his next move will dominate headlines until the end of the transfer window.
League champions Vipers SC are also said to be interested in the player’s services.
At the moment, KCCA’s entire focus is on the CAF Confederations Cup Preliminary clash with Libya’s Abu Salim and the start of the domestic season under new head coach Sergio Traguil.
