Just days after it became clear that he would not be continuing his stay at Kariobangi Sharks, new Tusker FC signing Brian Bwire has quickly asserted his desire to use the current log leaders’ stature as a stepping stone to pursuing his European dreams.In what is no secret in the footballing sphere, the 21-year-old goalkeeper ranks up among the very best of talents in the country, a young player touted to be the long time custodian of the Harambee Stars ‘jersey one’ barring any unfortunate circumstances.Speaking to Mozzart Sport, the goalkeeper revealed the exact reasons that attracted him to join the Robert Matano-led side that is going to represent Kenya in the 2022 CAF Champions League where Tusker, who have gone on a shopping spree, will be hoping to make it to the group stages when they begin the CAF preliminary rounds in September with an away clash against Djibouti’s AS Arta Solar 7.“First of all, their performances this season have really been impressive. Another thing that convinced me to join them is the exposure of playing in the CAF Champions League. That was an opportunity I could not pass up when I decided to join them,” he said.⚽️| Official: Goalkeeper Brian Bwire walks out of Kariobangi Sharks#BrianBwire #KariobangiSharks #Tusker #FKFPLhttps://t.co/ztgnzncHVL— Mozzart Sport Kenya (@MozzartSportKe) August 9, 2021 Bwire will however find himself embroiled in a tough battle to keep the first choice spot when he lands at the Brewers. In the goalkeeping department, Tusker currently have Emery Mvuyekure, Robert Mboya, Michael Wanjala and a returning who Bwire will need to topple. Still, the prospect of cementing his place in the starting lineup does not faze the ambitious keeper.“In football, there will always be competition for places. I am not worried because I know it will always be there. On my side, I am ready to compete with anyone for that place in between the sticks,” Bwire said confidently.Brian Bwire named best keeper at the U20 Cecafa Challenge Cup as Tanzania beat Kenya 1-0 to win the regional title.

I believe it will depend on getting the opportunity and the performance that I put in. I also know that there is nothing that is impossible. I still have my targets and that is what I am working towards. My ultimate goal is to play in Europe.” the player concluded.We begin our CAF Champions League campaign against Djibouti’s Arta Solar 7.
