A
potential
snag
has
hit
the
transfer
of
Ghanaian
midfielder
Emmanuel
Keyekeh,
sparking
a
dispute
between
his
former
club
FC
Samartex
and
his
new
Tanzanian
side
Singida
Black
Stars
FC.
Samartex
released
a
statement
on
Wednesday
claiming
they
still
hold
a
valid
contract
with
Keyekeh,
despite
Black
Stars
announcing
his
signing
on
a
three-year
deal.
The
Ghanaian
club
allege
they
were
completely
unaware
of
negotiations
and
are
surprised
by
Keyekeh’s
debut
for
Black
Stars
against
APR
FC
on
Tuesday.
Determined
to
protect
their
interests,
Samartex
are
seeking
legal
counsel
to
resolve
the
situation,
emphasising
they
did
not
release
Keyekeh
from
his
contract.
The
statement
also
points
fingers
at
Keyekeh’s
agent,
accusing
them
of
negotiating
the
transfer
without
authorization.
Singida
Black
Stars,
however,
maintain
they
followed
proper
procedures
and
are
confident
in
the
validity
of
the
transfer.
This
dispute
throws
a
wrench
into
Black
Stars’
preparations
for
the
upcoming
season,
as
Keyekeh’s
availability
remain
uncertain.
A
swift
resolution
is
crucial
for
the
Tanzanian
club
to
keep
their
title
aspirations
on
track.
