Asante Kotoko striker, Steven Mukwala is edging closer to an exit by leaving the club at the end of the season, according to reports.

Reports indicate that Mukwala, who is under contract until 2024 and his agent are already working on his exit from the club during the next transfer window.

The Football Signal Uganda reported in March that Tanzanian giants, Simba SC appear to be showing interest in the 23-year-old striker.

Having bagged 10 goals in the Ghanaian top-flight, Mukwala ranks third on the Premier League scoring table, just two goals away from the top-scorer, Hafiz Konkoni.

He ended the 2020/21 Uganda Premier League season as the top scorer for Uganda Rivers Authority (URA FC) after scoring 14 goals in 24 matches.
