AFC Leopards will actively look to recruit a new right back when the transfer window opens after the current Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) season.Ingwe has largely used Randy Bakari in the position this season, with Loren James getting minutes early on. Luke Namanda and Aziz Okaka have also been fielded defensively on the flanks by coach Tomas Trucha.Lewis Bandi, once a promising gem at the Den, has struggled to regain his place since returning from an injury that sidelined him for most of the season. Reports indicate he is among the players planning to leave when the season ends.##NAJAVA_MECA_8154686##Mozzart Sport has learned that Ingwe is exploring four options, with only two likely to be signed.The Leopards are considering a raid on Tusker, eying Dennis Sakari, whose contract ends in July. Trucha, a long-term admirer of Sakari, had previously tried to draft him during the mid-season transfer window in January.In addition to Sakari, the Leopards have shown interest in Muhoroni Youth assistant captain Cliff Otieno. Otieno’s versatility on the flanks has impressed the AFC technical bench, and his contract expires at the end of the month.Another potential recruit is Nashon Alembi, the 2020/2021 FKF Premier League Defender of the Year runner-up, currently with Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB).2026WCQ: Harambee Stars hold African champions Ivory Coast to goalless drawHowever, Alembi is still under contract, and Ingwe would need to pay a significant fee to secure his services.Since taking over at the Den seven months ago, Trucha has tended to put faith in young players, and it was not a surprise when we learned that the club was eying Kibera Black Stars right back Joseph Munala.Munala has had a rollercoaster of a season; from almost giving up on football six months ago to signing with Darajani Gogo and later being released when he picked up an injury, he has reinvented his career at the Kibera-based club, assisting nine times and finding the back of the net three times after joining them at the end of January.The youngster’s contract at Kibera ends in June, and he is the most likely option for Ingwe, with Shabana also believed to be jostling for his signature.Tomas Trucha’s most trusted lieutenants since taking over at AFC Leopards
