KCB, Posta in tussle for Mwangi transfer

FKF premier League clubs KCB FC and Posta Rangers are involved in a transfer battle for Mathare United forward John “Mavado” Mwangi

The player is in the final months of his contract with the 2008 league champions and has long been linked with a move away from the club that thrusted him to limelight.

Last year, the trio of KCB, Wazito and Bandari unsuccessfully tried to lure him away but looks increasingly likely to leave with Mathare struggling both on form and financially.

Sources close to the player indicate that KCB head coach Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno has been following his career closely and has shown great interest in drafting him to help with their league title chase.

Posta have scheduled a meeting with the player and are very keen to bring him on board having already added the duo of Patrick Otieno and Geoffrey Shiveka on to their roaster.

Mwangi’s imminent exit will certainly come as a blow to the club that is grappling to keep its top flight status.

Mathare are placed second from bottom with seven points, a tally similar to that of basement side Vihiga Bullets garnered from sixteen rounds.

Meanwhile, Mathare are rumored to be eyeing immediate former Wazito assistant coach John Kamau to fill in the void left by Ezekiel Akwana who resigned last week.

Akwana quit Mathate citing frustrations emanating from lack of pay leaving his assistant Francis Xavier to take charge on an interim basis.
