Tanzanian giants Young Africans are closing in on a move for Ghanaian midfielder James Kotei , who will undergo a medical Monday in the ongoing January transfer window.

According to Salim Masoud Said, African football writer for BBC, ESPN and Telegraph, Kotei is already in Dar Es Salaam to finalize his move back from Naturena following successful negotiations with the club.

The 26-year-old is expected to pen a long-term deal with Young Africans as he part ways with South African giants Kaizer Chiefs.
