Suitors drooling for 'Star boy' Hassan

The hottest football star in the country right now is Bandari FC winger Abdallah Hassan. Christened Star Boy, the player has hit the airwaves after scoring three consecutive goals for Harambee Stars in three international matches against Tanzania, Egypt and Togo.

The last two of those goals coming at a time when he was entrusted with a starting berth in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers for the first time in the group stages.

It is not a surprise however as Hassan has already shown what he can do in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League. After sixteen games played, the former Posta Rangers man already has five goals to his name and a couple of assists for his side, displays that partly propelled the Dockers to an unbeaten run from 6th February, winning four games and drawing two.

With that kind of exemplary display on the pitch, certainly comes attention, automatically. And Hassan has received quite a number of knocks on his door, potentially with a view to snap him up from the coastal based side.

“There are very many clubs but I can’t reveal now because I still have a contract with Bandari,” Hassan revealed to Mozzart Sport.

Defending champions Gor Mahia are said to be hot in pursuit of the talented winger with the green army short of natural options in the wing front. When asked if the reports a true, a laugh and a stump speech was all we got.

“Gor Mahia is a big team and I respect them, but I still have a contract with Bandari,” he said.

That aside, Hassan went on to praise the reunited coaching duo of Andre Cassa Mbungo and Anthony ‘Modo’ Kimani who have steadied the ship at Bandari.

“We started a bit poorly but we have started gelling really well after the new coach came. The two are really good coaches, they have faith in us and they keep motivating us to believe in ourselves when it comes to our title ambitions,” he concluded.
