The General Manager of FC Kallon Tunde Jesse Scott has on 9th February 2023 fumed to A-z sports that defender Yusif Sesay remains a contracted player of the club until 2024 making him ineligible to play for any other team other than FC Kallon.
Speaking to this medium, Tunde Jesse Scott provided evidence ranging from the receipt of the Ten Thousand Leones (NLe 10,000) first trench payment transfer transaction for the player signed from Giants of Grassfield FC that took place on the 6th April 2021 received by Chairman Jason S. Turay.
He noted that the total deal is worth the sum of Thirty Thousand Leones (NLe 30,000).
He further produced Sesay’s player license prepared by the Sierra Leone Premier League Board in the previous season adding that “We registered him in the previous season but he didn’t make several appearances because we granted the request he made to travel to Kenema for medication after he was facing a problem with his foot and since then he had never reported, before the climax of the 2021/22 season we heard that he was playing for Freetown FC but we never took any action against him because we only had few matches to play by then and we thought he was just trying to keep fit, above all, it wasn’t a Premier League club” he added.
The FC Kallon General Manager affirmed that they have never had any transfer transaction or a request from Freetown FC for the player a side that is now acting as the parent club and has even gone further to loan him to another club a deal he described as illegal
“Yusif Sesay remains a player owned by FC Kallon and Freetown FC is fully aware that they have never approached us to secure his service either permanently or on a loan deal, therefore he is ineligible to play for Kamboi Eagles or any other team other than FC Kallon” Scott affirmed.
He further that a few weeks back the player was training with the club at Angola field, noting he is surprised to see the player has penned down a contract with Kamboi Eagles and is being unveiled by the Club.
In a statement from Kamboi Eagles Football Club, it reads that
The Management of Kamboi Eagles Football club in Kenema is delighted to announce the signing of Yusuf Sesay known as Dante on a loan deal from a Division one club Freetown FC .
Yusuf Sesay has a wealth of experience in the Sierra Leone Premier League, having won the League with East End Lions in the 2019/2020 Season and also played for FC Kallon in 2021.
Yusuf is expected to make his debut for Kamboi Eagles against his former club FC Kallon when the two sides meet on Sunday 12th February 2023.
Yusuf Sesay is delighted to be back in the Premier League and promised the fans that he will do his best.
“I am happy to Join Kamboi Eagles; I can’t wait to be on the pitch; I will surely help to bring joy back to the fans,” he said
Chairman Ibrahim Manzola Kamara is wholeheartedly appreciated for his relentless effort to secure the signature of the player. In all this, about the player`s saga, the Premier League will have made final decision as to which club the player should play for. Before his move to FC Kallon, Yusif Sesay was part of the East End Lions FC squad that won the 2018/19 Sierra Leone Premier League season unbeaten, in 2022 he represented the Sierra Leone Under-23 side in the AFCON U-23 Qualifiers but was eliminated on aggregates 2-1 by Zambia U-23 team.
