New Uganda Premier league entrants Mbale Heroes and Maroons FC are interested in signing BUL FC striker Gerald Ogweti.
Ogweti has a year left on his employment contract at BUL FC and both Mbale Heroes and Maroons want to boost their striking line in this transfer window.
In the 2023/24 season, Ogweti served as a double licensed player of both BUL FC and Mbale Heroes.
He scored four goals for Mbale Heroes while playing as a double licensed player from BUL FC and helped the Mbale based club to win promotion to the UPL.
Maroons are expected to lose their starman Fred Amaku this window and want to replace him with Ogweti.
