Young Africans under no pressure to sell star striker Clement Mzize, says club president

Young Africans under no pressure to sell star striker Clement Mzize, says club president

The 21-year-old has been the subject of interest from a number of team for his performances in the Tanzania Premier League and CAF Champions League last season.

He is currently impressing for his country in the African Nations Championships where Tanzania are through to the quarter-finals, where they face Morocco in Dar es Salaam on Friday.

South Africa's Kaizer Chiefs, Qatar's Al Sad, Zamalek and Al Masry of Egypt and Tunisian's Esperance are all reportedly keen on the Yanga frontman.

Said told FARPost: "Clement is still with the national team at CHAN. We will review the procedures and the requirements from the market and our side as well when he comes back from the international duty.

"He still has a few more years with us. We believe he's the right player to stay with the club. But there's also a lot of interest in him going abroad. We'll consider keeping him at the club, but also assess whether there's a need to let him go. We will make the right decision."

Yanga have already made a number of signings, but none are seen as a direct replacement for Mzize.

"We've done several signings, but most of them also covered what we were missing from last season. We've done very well over the past four years. We need to revamp our team. We need to freshen up our team," added Said.

The Tanzanian giants have signed Moussa Balla Conte, Mohammed Husein, Celestin Ecua, Lassine Kouma, Andy Boyeli and Mohammed Doumbia.
