Nyota FC are playing hardball with two of their players who have attracted interest from Tusker FC and insist that the Brewers must bow to their demands if they are to get the players.Winger Victor ‘Messi’ Akwanyi and central midfielder Ian Nyongesa are two players who have attracted the interest of the Brewers, who are keen on bolstering their squad this window ahead of a rigorous second leg that starts on Wednesday afternoon.##NAJAVA_MECA_7069113##Akwanyi was spotted by coach Robert Matano during an off-season tournament that involved several FKF Premier League and lower-tier clubs. He trained with Tusker and even featured in a friendly match against Kenya Police FC. Nyongesa, on the other hand, was identified during the Karamoja Super Cup that was staged last December in Kakamega.Tusker have made their intentions to sign the pair known, but Nyota CEO Fred Wesonga says they are yet to strike any deal with the Ruaraka-based club.”They are still interested in the two players, but we have not agreed on anything, and as it stands, both are out players and will remain here until Tusker do the right thing,” Wesonga told Mozzart Sport.The contentious issue, according to Wesonga, is Tusker’s reluctance to divulge the terms of the contracts they want to offer the two players.Tusker in tussle with Nzoia Sugar over Nyota’s shinning star dubbed ‘Messi'”When we release a player to join another club, we want to ensure that his welfare is taken care of at his new home, and that is why we must go through the contract that they offer him, but this is information that Tusker is refusing to divulge, and we cannot just release players to them without knowing what they are signing up for,” he added.He added that other unnamed clubs are also interested in signing the pair and that they could start negotiations with them if the Brewers remain ‘stubborn’.”Both players trained with and were impressed by Tusker, but they have to heed our demands if they are to sign the players; other clubs want the two players as well, and we may engage them if Tusker keep dillydallying,” he added.The club chief further divulged that they are Akwanyi’s official agents as the player gave them consent to represent him.”For a player like “Messi”, for example, we represent him; he signed an agreement that allows us to step in as his agents, and he cannot sign a contract that we are not privy to its details; the agents have to go through it first,” he concluded.
