The Pedro Atletico striker hopes that the transfer to Pyunik FC will
be finalised soon……
Allan Wanga is poised to be the first Kenyan to play in a European Cup
if his intended move to Armenian champions, Pyunik FC goes through. The
club has already tendered an initial offer which the Angolan champions
have rejected.
Wanga told a Kenyan newspaper, Daily Nation, that negotiations between
the two clubs are still going on and that an agreeable transfer
package is the one factor delaying the deal.
"Pyunik have been tracking me for a while now but my club has asked
more money than what the club has offered but negotiations are still
going on," Wanga said.
"Pedro still wants me and will only release me if the price is
right. It is a dream for me to play in Europe and I just pray my
agent works out an agreeable deal," Wanga added.
According to Wanga, Pedro has slapped a transfer price tag of $600,000
while Pyunik are offering $400,000. The 2007 Kenya Premier League top
scorer moved from Tusker FC to Pedro in 2008 in a $60,000 transfer
deal.
The striker has since been a revelation for the Angolan championship
who are likely to be unwilling to release him unless their asking
price is honoured.
Wanga has already scored four goals in eight matches this season
for the champions but his move to Pyunik which has won 11 Armenian
Premier League titles will raise his profile and expose him to other
European top clubs.
