The Brewers have set their sights on a versatile Ugandan player as they seek to strengthen their squad for the title race.
Tusker FC are reported to be closing in on the signing of experienced Ugandan utility player Denis Iguma as they strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.
The FKF Premier League giants are keen on reinforcing their title charge and see Iguma as a valuable addition to their roster.
Iguma, who joined Uganda Premier League side Police FC in August 2024 on a two-year contract, has been a key player in the first round of the season.
Gor Mahia are rumored to be in talks with Ugandan striker Charles Bbaale plying his trade in the Rwandan league.
However, he is now seeking a new challenge across the border, with Tusker emerging as his next likely destination.
The seasoned defender-cum-midfielder has been training with the Kenyan club for the past few weeks and is expected to finalize the move when the mid-season transfer window officially opens on Thursday, January 30.
“Iguma has been an exceptional player, and his versatility makes him an asset for any club,” a source close to the player told reporters.
“He has settled in well during training at Tusker, and all indications are that the deal will be completed soon.”

The Tanzanian club has issued an ultimatum to K’Ogalo failure to which they will seek legal redress at FIFA following the defender’s failed move early this month.
Tusker, currently tied at the top of the FKF Premier League standings with Gor Mahia on 36 points from 18 matches, are locked in a fierce battle for supremacy.
With Gor Mahia having dominated Kenyan football in recent seasons, Tusker are determined to wrestle the title away this time around.
The club already boasts a strong Ugandan contingent, including George Kaddu, Boban Zirintusa, John Byamukama and Deogratius Ojok.

Ng’olo Kante is widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive midfielders of his time, but was Victor Wanyama actually better in the 2016/2017 season when both players were in their primes?
Iguma brings a wealth of experience, having played for several top clubs in Uganda and beyond.
He started his professional career with SC Villa (2009–2011) before moving to Sports Club Victoria University (2011–2014) and later KCCA FC.
His career has also seen him venture into international football, with stints at Al Ahed and Al Nabcheet in Lebanon as well as Kazma SC in Kuwait.
Beyond club football, Iguma has been a vital part of the Uganda Cranes, representing the national team in major tournaments such as the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in 2014 and 2021, as well as the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Gabon.

His leadership, defensive prowess, and ability to play multiple positions make him an attractive prospect for Tusker.

The club believes his experience in high-pressure situations will be crucial in their quest to dethrone Gor Mahia.

Tusker fans will be eagerly awaiting official confirmation of Iguma’s signing, hoping that his arrival will provide the necessary boost to their team as they chase their first league title in years.
If the deal goes through, the Ugandan star will be looking to make an immediate impact and help Tusker achieve their ambitions in the FKF Premier League.
