Despite being linked with a move to Tanzania heavyweights Azam FC,
Goal understands the experienced midfielder is in talks with Al-Merikh of Sudan, among other clubs.
After being released by Mnyama, the 29-year-old is now free to enter into transfer talks with any club and Sudan s side has emerged as one possible destination for the forward as talks have begun. Kahata is in talks with not only the club mentioned but with several others, a source close to the player told
Goal. Finding a club is a matter of when not if for Kahata because of his quality. He served Gor Mahia exceptionally and went to Simba and did an impressive job and that made his CV glitter. Therefore, when clubs learned he was free, they came and asked for talks.
Harambee Star Francis Kahata has confirmed he has officially parted ways with Simba SC, ending his two-year stay with the reigning Tanzania Mainland League champions.
Goal on Sunday. Our approach in the game from the start to the end was just not good. Considering the fact that we were away, a goal or two would not have been that bad for us considering the second leg was to be played at home.
The 29-year-old former Gor Mahia midfielder is, however, optimistic that things will change when the teams meet again in the second leg at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam. On Saturday Chiefs were a better team than us; as in, in every department, they were stronger, Kahata continued. They also capitalised on the home advantage well. But it is football, the journey is still on. We will play them at home and I believe there is nothing impossible. We have a week to rectify the mistakes we made, and I am optimistic we will use the home ground advantage well to make it to the next phase.
