Express to maintain logical approach over transfers


It remains unknown when the Uganda Premier League season, halted with five games left, will be concluded.
This is as a result of the current lockdown imposed by government as the country seeks to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.

Despite the state of affairs, speculation surrounding player transfers continue with Express being no exception after impressive displays from some of the club’s key players.

Express chairman Kiryowa Kiwanuka, however, insists the club will not be held at ransom in order to retain their best players for subsequent seasons.

“As I said, we cannot force a player to stay if indeed they want to leave,” Kiwanuka is quoted having told Daily Monitor

The Betway-sponsored side maintained six players from last season losing several others including John Revita, Badru Nsubuga, Mubarak Nsubuga.

“The transfer market participation is determined by the resources available to the club. We shall get players based on the resources we have available,” Kiwanuka is having further stated.

Captain Disan Galiwango, Cyrus Kibande, Frank Ssenyondo and Frank Kalanda have all stood out attracting interest from rivals in the league despite an inconsistent campaign that accounted for coach George Ssimwogerere.

They have since picked 10 points out of a possible 15 winning thrice and losing once in five games in which Kalanda has found the back of the net four times.

His season’s league tally stands at 11 goals thus far while Ssenyondo has seven to his name in his debut season in the top division while Galiwango has chipped in with six goals.

Express currently occupy ninth position on the 16-team StarTimes Uganda Premier League log.

More importantly, the Betway sponsored Red Eagles are seven points away from the three relegation places with five matches left after the current enforced break.
