Mukura VS Elie Tatou Iradukunda

Chief scout of Belgian Jupiler Pro League side KAA Gent, Harry Varley, will be watching Mukura Victory Sports sensational teenager Elie Tatou Iradukunda in action when his side welcomes Sunrise FC in a Rwanda Premier League week 6 clash at Huye Stadium on Tuesday, October 10.

Iradukunda, 17, arguably one of the most talented teenagers in the Rwanda Premier League, has hit the top form during his second season at Mukura and has since attracted the attention from a number of clubs in and outside the country.

Last season’s campaign saw him play 25 games, scoring 6 goals and providing 4 assists in all competitions. He was a subject of interest from Al Wahda in the United Arab Emirates, Levante in Spain, Paderborn in Germany and Genk in Belgium but either move failed to materialize.

A top management team member of the Huye-based club told Times Sport that Gent chief Harry Varley who is in Rwanda to scout young players in Rwanda will watch the youngster playing against Sunrise on Tuesday.

"The chief scout of Gent who is in Rwanda will watch Elie Tatou on Tuesday against Sunrise FC. If everything goes well, next summer there could be a move," the source said.

Times Sport also understands that German agent Sascha Empacher, who sent Mohammed Salah to FC Basel and Chelsea, is also eager to fly to Rwanda to scout Iradukunda as the season progresses after watching his highlights.

Iradukunda has been a regular starter for Mukura Victory Sports and started all five league games for the club this season.
