Ghanaian forward Daniel Gozar to leave Free State Stars in summer
Ghanaian forward Daniel Gozar is set to leave South Africa second-tier side Free State Stars in the summer.
Gozar joined the Free State Stars from Ashanti Gold SC last summer and has been a key cog of the team.
The 26-year-old has made 21 appearances for the South African championship side, scored 11 goals and provided six assists in all competitions so far this season.
Following his impressive performance in his debut season, he's been linked with a move to several clubs, and Free State Stars are convinced that they cannot hold on to the in-demand Gozar, hence preparing for life without him.
"Gozar has got one more year and we are going to extend for another season now," coach Sithole told kickoff.
"But there is a lot of interest from the PSL. So I was told not to plan on Gozar for next season. I don’t know the teams, I was not told the teams, but I was told not to put full plans on Gozar because he is scoring and the PSL they don’t have those type of strikers.
"I don’t know who spoke to [Stars general manager] Rantsi [Mokoena] but he told me not to plan with Gozar. He is a good striker just… but he’s got one more season.
He added, "I’m sure knowing my people there is no way we can keep him with one season on his contract… I’m sure they are going to exercise the option and give him another year if nobody comes up with money."
“But what I heard is that there are people interested. It’s just that when your bosses tell you there are people interested in a player, you don’t care who is interested as long as they make money.”
