Elly Kalekwa: Striker John Avire is still a Sofapaka player
Sofapaka President Elly Kalekwa has refuted reports striker John Avire has joined Egyptian side Tanta SC.
The attacker has been at the center of controversy alongside former Football Kenya Federation (FKF) CEO Robert Muthomi who allegedly engineered the move.
Despite the Egyptian club confirming they had signed the player on a two-year deal on Friday, Kalekwa now says due process of signing players must be followed, and as far as he is concerned, Avire is still a Sofapaka player.

“[John] Avire is still our player, reports that he has signed for the Egyptian club are baseless," Kalekwa told Goal in an interview.
