SC Villa wonderkid Hassan Mubiru is a subject of interest from regional clubs Simba, Singida Black Stars and APR, Kawowo Sportshas learnt.
Mubiru is enjoying a fantastic season with record league champions SC Villa and has been involved in over ten goals in all competitions so far helping the Jogoos reach the quarter finals of the Stanbic Uganda Cup as well as mount a title challenge in the league.
The Express academy graduate leads the assists chart for the Blues with six in the league and has scored twice from wide areas.
