Five FKFPL clubs after Talanta's hero Kahiro

Five Football Kenya Federation Premier League sides are jostling out to acquire the services of FC Talanta's forward Francis Kahiro ahead of the new season.

The Passenga Boys High School alumnus made his Premier League debut at the start of the concluded season and went on to put up a brilliant display, attracting the interests of some of the big names in the league ahead of the new season.

He announced himself at the big stage when he scored a brace against champions Tusker FC in October as Talanta upset the Brewers at Ruaraka in a 2-1 win.

Since then, he went on to score seven goals as he ended the season with nine goals in his first attempt in the top tier.

Sofapaka, KCB, four-time champions Ulinzi Stars, Posta Rangers, and Kariobangi Sharks are the five top-tier clubs that are interested in signing the dreaded winger.

"Kahiro's performance last season has seen some clubs in the premier league consult about him. He has been in talks with some of the teams that have shown interest. Sofapaka, KCB, Ulinzi Stars, Posta Rangers, and Kariobangi Sharks are the interested clubs so far. He has also received interests from outside the country and is in talks with representatives to determine what is best for him. We expect contact from more clubs," a source revealed to Mozzart Sport.

With nine goals, Kahiro emerged as the top scorer for Talanta in their maiden season in the top flight.

He has a running contract with the Ken Kenyatta-coached side until September 2023 but could leave on the bossman rule.
