Previously, there were reports linking Kayiwa with moves to clubs in both Uganda and Rwanda, creating a buzz around his potential transfer.

Tanzanian club Kagera Sugar has emerged as the leading contender to secure the signature of Express FC's star striker and Uganda Premier League (SUPL) top scorer, Allan Kayiwa.

With Kayiwa's future shrouded in speculation and numerous clubs vying for his services, Kagera Sugar has made a strong push to secure his talents.

The Ugandan forward's impressive performances in the SUPL have garnered attention from both local and regional clubs.

Previously, there were reports linking Kayiwa with moves to clubs in both Uganda and Rwanda, creating a buzz around his potential transfer.

However, it appears that Kagera Sugar has now taken pole position in the race for his signature.

The deal is understood to have been completed this week, but two South African clubs showed their interest with discussions commencing earlier this week.

While the details of these clubs remain undisclosed, their interest serves as a testament to Kayiwa's growing reputation and the impact he has made in the SUPL.

However, according to sources close to the player, discussions between Kayiwa and Kagera continue with a decision expected over the coming week.

The transfer saga surrounding Kayiwa has seen several clubs express their desire to secure his services.

Vipers SC and Rwanda's APR were previously reported as potential suitors for the talented striker.

Furthermore, URA FC and SC Villa, have recently thrown their hats into the ring, intensifying the competition for his signature.

After an acrimonious departure from Vipers last season, the forward has repaid the faith shown in him by coach James Odoch.

Initially finding his footing as a wide forward, Kayiwa's fortunes took a positive turn when he was deployed just behind the striker, granting him the freedom to roam and exploit spaces on the field.

Throughout the season, Kayiwa has grown in stature and delivered crucial goals for the Red Eagles, concluding the campaign with an impressive record of 13 goals in 28 games.
