Bo Rangers have hit out at reports they are withholding the passport of rumoured Kaizer Chiefs target Musa Kamara.
The 21-year-old Sierra Leone striker is a reported potential signing for the DStv Premiership side.
He was believed to be set to travel to South Africa for a trial, but his Sierra Leone National Premier League team say this is not the case, and there has been no contact over the player.
A club statement on their Facebook page read: “The attention of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, Technical Team and Fan Club of Bo Rangers Football Club has been drawn to some social media posts alleging, among other things, that the club’s talisman, Musa Noah Kamara (aka Musa Tombo), has caught the interest of a South African football club.

“Some of the posts further state that he was already on his way to South Africa for trials and eventually securing a contract with the prospective club, but for our Executive Chairman, Babadi Kamara, withholding his passport.
“We find these social media posts very disturbing and unfortunate; we countenance same as a deliberate attempt to drive a wedge between us and the player, and to also dent the hard-earned respect and admiration which our Chairman enjoys amongst the football family.
“Let us state emphatically, and for the records that our Executive Chairman, Babadi Kamara, has at no point in time withheld Musa Noah Kamara’s passport for whatever reason whatsoever.

“Any insinuation in that respect underscores the prejudices he continues to be subjected to by some ill -intentioned individuals in our society.
“In addition, we wish to unequivocally state that we have neither received, nor been intimated of any interest howsoever arising in respect of the player from any football team in the world. Let us further emphasize that the said player is a legally contracted player of our club and the said contract still subsists. Inasmuch as we are not averse to holding discussions aimed at severing ties with the player if our demands are met, we are, however, mindful that such engagement should be done within the confines of the law.
“We want to allay the fears of our fans in particular and the football fraternity in general that Musa Noah Kamara (Aka Musa Tombo) is a player of Bo Rangers Football Club and that his status has not changed. We further want to assure same that we will explore every legitimate means at our disposal to protect our interest in the said player including instituting legal action if the need is occasioned.”
