FKF Premier League giants AFC Leopards are already making plans for next season in terms of transfers and have earmarked Nairobi City Stars attacker Kelvin Etemesi for signing.Ingwe will be able to recruit players during the June-August transfer window after serving a two-window ban for going ahead to sign players despite FIFA’s warning that they first settle dues owed to some of their foreign players who had reported the club to the world football governing body.##NAJAVA_MECA_7292196##All their files have since been closed, and it will be business as usual for the 12-time league champions when the transfer window swings open. Ingwe has operated with a 19-man squad all season, and already coach Patrick Aussems has warned that some players will leave while others have three matches to earn new contracts.”It’s the end of the season, and some players maybe will not stay; some players will not see their contracts renewed, and so they also need to fight for themselves in the remaining three games,” Aussems said after the 2-1 defeat to Nairobi City Stars at the Nyayo National Stadium on Monday evening.

The youngster scored both goals for Simba Wa Nairobi as they came from a goal down to pick up maximum points and confirm their safety after what was a very difficult first leg.AFC Leopards vs Nairobi City Stars goals.Kelvin Etemesi has the attributes of a special player.#FKFPL pic.twitter.com/iOwDPCZ0C1— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) May 30, 2023 City Stars coach Nicholas Muyoti was full of praise for the youngster after his double against Ingwe, a player that he could lose to the side that he not only played for but served as captain, team manager, and assistant coach.”I think he has been growing since the first leg, and we are happy about his progress. He has integrated well with the rest, and he is scoring goals, and we hope that he continues this way because he is a young and enterprising player,” he said.Etemesi was acquired from the now-defunct third-tier side, Kangemi All-Stars, before the start of the season, and after struggling to find the back of the net in the first leg, he hit the ground running in the second and has nine goals to his name already.Kick-off date for 2023/2024 season tentatively set
