The central defender, who is also comfortable as a holding midfielder, is top priority for both KCCA and Vipers.
Uganda Premier League kingpins Vipers SC and KCCA FC have expressed their admiration for SC Villa defender Gift Fred, with the pair ready to cash in to secure his signature.
The central defender, who is also comfortable as a holding midfielder, is top priority for both KCCA and Vipers.
"KCCA and Vipers have contacted us with tempting figures, but we are still assessing our options," a member of Fred's team, who preferred anonymity told Pulse Sports Uganda.
"His contract at Villa expired, but they are a strong option as well, let's just wait and see," he added.
This publication could not reach the player himself, as he is currently with the Uganda Cranes in their preparations to take on Algeria in the qualifiers of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

This website initially reported that Fred and Villa had failed to reach a leveled ground in negotiations for a new contract, over the demands from either party.
He was a pillar and provided exemplary leadership in Villa's title challenge, missing just one league game out of a possible 28.
As their skipper, his defence conceded just 20, the second meanest after Vipers' 13. He also managed to chip in with two goals.
Fred joined the Jogoo from Booma FC and has gone on to establish himself as one of the finest defenders locally.
