Alex Kagame told Times Sport yesterday that they are just waiting for Nantes officials to make contact if they are indeed interested in the Rwandan international. “He (Uzamukunda) passed the trials and returned home (from France), but we are still waiting for them (Nantes) to contact us so that the deal is finalised,” Kagame said, adding that they are not yet aware when the talks will be held. The Amavubi and APR striker passed professional trials with the struggling French Ligue 1 club early this month and what is remaining for him to realize his dream of playing professionally is for the two clubs to reach an agreement.
