Chances come at a time when you hardly expect them to. Saith Sakala settled in very well in Saudi Arabia at Al Fateh FC after his move from Zanaco last season. He went on to play 21 times as striker, centre midfield, left or right winger, attacking midfielder, centre midfielder and defensive midfielder too. He went on to score 4 times after only 5 appearances as a centre forward
His raids attracted interest from clubs in Dubai, South Africa and Sweden. Djugardens, Al Khaleeej and Al Nojoom made their in tentions known by putting in official offers. It was the move to Europe that looked more interesting to the player before we sat down with his club at their off-season training base in Slovenia to finalise his next move. Unfortunately Djugardens couldn’t finalise the move before their 11th of August transfer deadline. Orlando Pirates a long-time admirer of the same player also joined the race. With their foreign quota full, they made frantic efforts to free up a slot before settling with securing the services of a defender instead. We were left without an option but to move him to Al Nojoom on short term basis. The deal to Sweden is far from being over as they are keeping their tags open for the next transfer window in December.It’s left to see how Saith will hit the ground running at his new base in Al Hasa. #TGBT#
