Kenyan Premier League side Ulinzi Stars are closing in on the signatures of former St Anthony’s Boys High School, Kitale standouts Kevin Musambai and Zinadine Wesonga as the club moves to strengthen its squad ahead of the January transfer window. The soldiers are already shaping their roster for the 2025/2026 season, with the two teenagers emerging as top priorities.
Sources within the club indicate that the highly rated duo has been training with Ulinzi Stars for several days, signaling that negotiations are at an advanced stage. Their involvement in the team’s sessions has generated excitement among supporters and offered a glimpse of the club’s ambition to reinforce its squad for the second leg of the campaign.
Musambai and Wesonga, both products of St Anthony’s famed youth football system, are widely regarded as among the most promising young talents in Kenyan football. Their technical ability, consistency, and tactical maturity have attracted interest from several top‑flight clubs, but the pair is now leaning toward sealing moves to Ulinzi Stars.

Ulinzi, who have shown flashes of brilliance but struggled with consistency this season, are keen to inject fresh energy and depth into their squad. The potential arrival of the two stars aligns with the club’s strategy of building a youthful team capable of challenging for top positions in the league.
Coaches familiar with the duo describe Musambai as a sharp, intelligent forward with the ability to unlock defences, while Wesonga is praised for his composure, ball control, and strong presence in midfield. Their blend of flair, discipline, and football intelligence makes them ideal long‑term prospects for a club seeking stability and renewed competitiveness.
Although the club has not issued an official statement, insiders believe the deals could be finalised early in the transfer window if the players maintain their impressive form in training.
