FKF Premier League sides Tusker FC and Kenya Police FC are embroiled in a tussle over Harambee Stars goalkeeper Patrick Matasi who is legally still contracted to the Brewers but is desperately pursued by the ambitious law enforcers.Police have offered the former AFC Leopards, Posta Rangers and St. George SC custodian a job in the police force and an opportunity to turn out for their FKF Premier League outfit that has been on a recruitment spree since they got promoted last season. The Brewers on the other hand are not keen on letting the star player, who had over a year left in his contract with the club leave for free as is being demanded by the Sammy ‘Pamzo’ Omolo led team.##NAJAVA_MECA_6520534##Matasi won last season’s league golden boot after keeping 18 clean sheets in 25 games. It is this fine form that drew the attention of the law enforcers who are more than determined to get their man.The keeper appears determined to quit as well. Last week he did not show up for training at the Ruaraka Grounds throughout the week an indication that his mind and future lies away from the 13-time league champions who re-signed him from St. George SC before the start of the 2021/22 sign on a two-year deal.His latest stunt however appears to be in sharp contrast of his stand a month ago. In an earlier interview, the seasoned custodian urged clubs interested in his services to strike a deal with his club Tusker after it emerged that Police FC, Azam FC and Kagera Sugar FC both of Tanzania were after his signature.Tusker’s Patrick Matasi wins the 2021/22 season FKF Premier League golden glove.He kept 18 clean sheets all season.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/GYW8TEStQa— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) June 12, 2022 “I still contract with Tusker FC and any team that wants my services knows the right channel to follow.
