Mukisa Reagan, widely known as Lee Pickford, is emerging as one of the most sought after players ahead of the next Buganda Masaza Cup season, with several heavyweight Ssaza teams monitoring his situation as his contract with Mawogola nears its end.
The highly rated goalkeeper is understood to be open to a move if a convincing offer is presented in the coming months. Sources close to the player say he is seeking a fresh challenge after an impressive spell with Mawogola, where he established himself as one of the standout performers in the tournament.
Ssingo, Kyagwe, Buddu, Mawokota and Gomba have all been linked with interest in the 17 year old stopper. Buddu and Kyagwe are reported to be particularly keen, having been impressed by his reading of the game, strength in one versus one situations, organisation at the back and command of his defence.
Gomba, Mawokota and Ssingo are also believed to be watching developments closely and are prepared to step in with strong financial proposals to secure his signature. Buddu, a Ssaza with a reputation for producing elite goalkeepers, is expected to make a serious move for a player who won multiple man of the match awards and earned inclusion in the Ganda Media Agency best eleven of the week.
Pickford enjoyed a standout campaign with Mawogola, captaining the side last season and playing a key role in their attractive performances throughout the tournament. His form and leadership have only strengthened speculation that his time with Mawogola could soon come to an end if the right opportunity arises.
With his stock continuing to rise, the goalkeeper’s next decision is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched transfer stories in Buganda Masaza Cup circles.
