The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has confirmed John Avire remains a Sofapaka player amid a transfer saga involving him and the Federation's general secretary Robert Muthomi.
In a press release sent to the media, the FKF has stated Avire remains a Sofapaka player as he serves a running contract with the 2009 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions.
"We wish to state that we have received a complaint from Sofapaka FC, in regard to striker John Avire’s intended move to an undisclosed club in Egypt, despite having a running contract with the Kenyan Premier League club," Barry Otieno, the FKF's media liaison officer, said.
