AFC Leopards have said plans to retain their striker Elvis Rupia are at an advanced stage. The burly forward's short term contract with the club ended last month but according to chairman Dan Shikanda, his office is keen to hand the player a lengthy stay at the club. The former Kenyan international disclosed that the cessation of movement imposed on Nairobi had locked the striker upcountry hence blocking him from finalising the negotiations and signing the new deal. Once the restrictions are lessened and he is back in Nairobi, we will finalise everything and tie him down to a lengthy contract,” he said. If he has a better offer elsewhere then we will have to look for another striker.
