AFC: Team wants Sh700,000 for veteran defender James Situma

AFC Leopards have put a Sh700,000 prize tag on veteran defender James Situma. Situma is wanted by Tusker with only six months remaining on his contract. Leopards Secretary General George Aladwa has said they have asked the brewers to part with the amount if they want the player. “This is the money we paid to sign defender Joseph Shikokoti from Tusker two years ago and we believe Situma is worth the same amount now,” he said. Leopards bought Situma for Sh800,000 from Sofapaka last season.
