FC
Samartex
midfielder
Emmanuel
Keyekeh
is
on
the
verge
of
joining
Tanzanian
side
Singida
Black
Stars
on
a
three-year
deal.
Keyekeh,
who
played
for
Singida
in
their
cup
game
yesterday,
is
set
to
depart
from
Ghana
to
Tanzania
soon.
In
addition
to
Keyekeh,
Singida
Black
Stars
are
also
set
to
sign
Imoro
Ibrahim
for
the
upcoming
season.
Personal
terms
have
been
agreed
upon,
and
both
players
are
scheduled
to
undergo
medical
examinations
tomorrow
before
officially
signing
their
contracts.
Keyekeh,
the
former
Kotoko
midfielder,
played
the
most
minutes
for
Samartex
last
season,
captaining
the
team
to
a
historic
Ghana
Premier
League
triumph.
In
32
games,
the
26-year-old
scored
five
goals,
helping
the
Timber
Giants
secure
the
trophy
with
two
games
to
spare.
Keyekeh’s
imminent
departure
is
a
significant
blow
for
Samartex,
who
will
be
competing
in
the
CAF
Champions
League
for
the
first
time,
following
their
successful
Ghana
Premier
League
campaign.
Despite
this
setback,
the
Timber
Giants
have
already
begun
pre-season
preparations
ahead
of
the
new
season.
Emmanuel
Keyekeh
was
recently
adjudged
the
Best
Local-Based
Player
at
the
2024
Ghana
Football
Awards,
highlighting
his
crucial
role
and
exceptional
performance
in
Samartex’s
successful
season.
