This comes after Seal, on Wednesday, 25 March, reached an agreement with the Swedish third-tier club over the transfer of the 18-year-old.
The development, confirmed by club CEO Josh Mwangi, is the culmination of an intense round of negotiations, which fetched offers from clubs in Sweden, Belgium and Norway.
Enköpings SK eventually ended up winning the race for his signature, ending Osama’s short spell at Seal.
“From Murang’a to Sweden,” Murang’a Seal said in a farewell post on Wednesday morning. “Paul Osama, you gave this badge everything. The goals, the fight, the moments we’ll never forget.
Now it’s your time. Sweden awaits - go shine, go conquer. We’re proud of you. Forever a Seal.”

Signed at the beginning of the 2025-2026 season from National Super League side Mombasa United, Osama has been a revelation in the top-tier.
In his maiden Premier League season, the former Mombasa All Stars player has featured in majority of the team’s games, scoring three goals and assisting thrice in all competitions.
His first goal in the FKFPL came in a 2-1 win over KCB in November, with his second coming in another team victory over Bidco in January.
His last came on 15 February, when he scored the second in Seal’s 3-2 win over Sofapaka.
His last bow for the club was in a 1-1 draw against Mathare United on Sunday, 22 March.

Osama, who is son to Kenyan football legend Godfrey Osama, is expected to jet out to Sweden in the coming days, with the expectation being that he will feature in Enköpings' first game of the new season against Stocksund on Saturday, 4 April.
Sources indicate he will sign a multi-year deal with the Ettan Norra outfit, but that is subject to official confirmation from the club.
Osama, with the move, becomes the latest Kenyan to step foot at Enköpings SK, joining the recent trio of Andreas Odhiambo, Stanley Wilson, and Irad Mshindi.
FKF Vice President McDonald Mariga also turned out for ESK in 2005, playing only one season prior to his move to Helsingborgs IF.
Also on the list is former Harambee Stars midfielder Jamal 'Malo' Mohammed, who made 45 appearances for the club during its times in the Superettan (second-tier) and Division One (third-tier) between 2007 and 2009.
Osama's time at Seal mostly saw him deployed on the right wing, taking advantage of a strong right foot to deliver crosses into the box.
Prior to his move to Coast Regional side Mombasa All Stars in March 2025, Osama spent a year in the United Arab Emirates playing for Division Two side Al Hilal.
