“I’ve been reading the rumors surrounding the deal most of which are driven by malice, but I can assure you that soon you will hear good news,” the FIFA Intermediary told Kahawa Tungu.

“Two weeks ago we received the boy’s work permit, a huge step in the move, we are now waiting for his social media accounts to be verified as a standard requirement by the US embassy before he gets a visa,” he added.
