Former AFC Leopards goalkeeper Benjamin Ochan, who also served as club assistant captain, is hoping to reach a payment plan with the FKF Premier League club over monies owed to him.Ochan turned out for Ingwe between 2019 and 2021 before leaving the club for the KCCA of Uganda in 2021. He was among the players that ditched Ingwe over the financial struggles that the club faced then. The club has since stabilized in terms of finances after landing sponsorship from a gaming firm.##NAJAVA_MECA_7180200##By the time he left the club, Ingwe owed him hundreds of thousands in accrued salary arrears, and the initial feeling at the den was that he had written off the debt. He, however, recently reached out, seeking that they pay the money that they owe him.There were initial fears that the player would head to FIFA’s dispute resolution chamber, as was the case with the likes of Gideon Waja, Soter Kayumba, and Vincent Habamahoro, among other ex-foreign foreign legions. But on the contrary, the Ugandan Cranes custodian is open to a bipartisan talk with Ingwe, and he hopes that they will reach a gentleman’s agreement.”No, that is not the route I want to take. AFC Leopards is my team, and I do not want a situation where it reaches that point (going to FIFA). We are in talks, and I am confident that we will resolve the matter in an amicable way,” he told Mozzart Sport.Ochan enjoyed three stellar seasons at the den, and although he did not manage to bag any silverware, he was inspirational between the posts and came at a time when Ingwe had struggled to get a good goalie between the posts.Leopards, who have served a two-window transfer ban for failing to pay their former players will be able to sign players from the next window as they have cleared with the players that took them to FIFA.Can Evans Chebet beat Eliud Kipchoge and defend his Boston Marathon title?
