Out-of-contract AFC midfielder Said Tsuma has quashed abounding rumors that he is sailing to Bandari FC after his contract with the 12-time league champions lapsed earlier this month.A week ago, Mozzart Sport reported that the former Thika United midfielder was willing to negotiate a deal with Ingwe and extend his stay at the den but no offers had been tabled yet.Tsuma refuted the claims that he has joined Bandari, adding that indeed he was in Mombasa at home and was training on his own and is yet to make his decision after the contract ended.’It is not true. I have not joined Bandari. I have been at home training on my own. There are ongoing talks but I have not made my decision yet. I asked them we finish the remaining games then the rest will follow,” Tsuma told Mozzart SportAFC Leopards really missed Said Tsuma in the middle of the park today.

When a team wants you they have to show it and they have to give you a good deal. Yes. there are offers but I am not willing to disclose them at the moment. There are four clubs that have contacted me, one of them is outside the country but I am not very sure about it,” he added.He was part of the five senior players who the club announced that their contracts had expired just hours before their league match against Bandari and thus did not travel with the team.CLUB UPDATE The team safely arrived in Thika for our FKF-PL match against @BandariOfficialOchan Benjamin, Senaji Clyde, Hansel Ochieng, Said Tsuma and Oyemba John won’t feature in the match after their contracts endedThe match will be live on @StarTimesKE #INGWE pic.twitter.com/HwjiFCMHKT— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) July 9, 2021 Tsuma joined Ingwe from the now-defunct Thika United in 2018 together with Saad Musa and signed a three-year deal with AFC.He had joined the Thika-based team straight from High School, signing with them in 2016 after completing his studies at Kisumu Day.
