“Yes there are clubs that are interested in him (Keshi) in the Premier Soccer League,” Sukazi said.
“Unfortunately I cannot divulge who are those clubs and that can spoil the negotiations but I can tell you there are offers for him.
“Look, I cannot say he’s still in the country because he never came in the first place – those reports were false.
“He’s very keen to work in the country because the PSL is one of the biggest leagues in the continent.”
