Record league champions SC Villa are set to clinch the signing of Tooro United defender Farouk Katongole.
Swift sports understands that the player has undergone a series of negotiations with the club but a compromise is yet to be reached.
The gangly defender who can ably play across the defensive line and also as a holding midfielder has attracted interest from Tusker FC in Kenya and Vipers SC.
He was a central figure in Fred Kajoba’s Uganda cup 2018/19 finalists after striking a tandem partnership with Enock Walusimbi.

Tooro United became his second home in the top flight after also featuring for Entebbe FC .
The arrival of Katongole would spell doom for captain Asuman Harishe and Moses Kiggundu since SC Villa are planning to offload one of the ageing defenders.
Youngster Gavin Kizito will be trusted with one of the center back positions.
