Bwamkuu set to seal permanent deal with French side LB Châteauroux

Kenyan teenager Feiswal Bwamkuu has vowed to follow footsteps of former La Berrichonne de Chateauroux FC legend Florent Malouda by playing in top tier leagues in Europe as he eyes to join the third tier French club on a permanent basis this month.

The Lamu-born footballer has impressed the club on his three months trials earlier this year and is set for a professional contract, terming it a dream come true in his football journey.

“I hope to follow on Malouda's ways because he started his career here and llay in the top leagues especially Arsenal,” he told Citizen Digital.

On the three months trial, the young star said he gained a lot from it from adding football tactics and learning life skills.

“Their training sessions, facilities and everything is world class giving a player a good performing environment, for sure I am not the same Feiswal I was before trying with them."

Bwamkuu has at the same time called upon more football scouts to visit the Kenyan coastal areas where a lot of talents remain untapped.

He was spotted by French scouts during the Lamu gubernatorial aspirant Umra Omar’s tournament, who contributed greatly to his relocation to France.

"Lamu and Coast as a whole has got alot of talents but the problem is having scouts who can identify the talents," he added.

The French side finished fifth on the log with 55 points from 34 matches in the 18-team league.

La Berrichonne de Châteauroux, commonly referred to as La Berrichonne or simply Châteauroux, is a French association football club based in Châteauroux.

The football team is a part of a sports club that consists of several other sports and was founded in 1916.
