He, however, revealed that his squad is not yet complete with some of the transfers which are still under negotiations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players who are arriving in Kigali today include Fuadi Ndayisenga, Saidi Abed, Sina Jerome and Tommy Okello.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are the four players that I am sure are coming today and will be in training tomorrow morning.\u201d Ntagwabira told Igihe.com during their training at ETO Kicukiro which was attended by several supporters.<\/p>\n
The manager further disclosed the club is planning to bring in more two players from Nigeria and two from Uganda.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players from Uganda are Tommy Okello who was playing for Thika United and Osama Farouk who was playing for Uganda Revenue Authority FC.<\/p>\n
\u201c I have been eyeing these players because they are free agents and haven\u2019t signed any contracts with their teams. If I find them to be good players we shall sign them\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
These, however, not the only players that are expected to sign for Rayon Sports. Karim Makenzi is currently training with the team but hasn\u2019t signed a contract yet because his paperwork is still being processed by FERWAFA, the football governing body.<\/p>\n
\u201cCedric Hamisi and Bokota Labama are expected to arrive on Tuesday. Negotiations with them are already complete and they are not coming to be tested.<\/p>\n
\u201c The players coming to be tested are the two Nigerians, Tommy Okello, Osama Farouk and also one Burundian player who is currently in training\u201d said the head coach.<\/p>\n
FERWAFA requires every team to have a maximum of 5 foreign players in the line-up and Ntagwabira told igihe.com that: \u201cI plan to sign only 6 foreign players. If I happen to see anyone who dazzles me then maybe I could sign 7.” <\/p>\n
Rayon Sports have so far signed 2 foreign players, Hussein Mbanze and Juma Mpongo and left with four or five new foreigners.<\/p>\n
In preparation for the upcoming season, Rayon sports are planning a friendly match against the Tanzanian club Azam FC which will take place on August 17.
