Three Young Africans players have won the admiration of Libyan soccer teams, a club's official who accompanied the team to Tripoli for the Confederations Cup against hosts Al Akhdar last Friday, has said.

The Yanga official who pleaded for anonymity, named the players who have been put under spotlight by Libyan teams as Mrisho Ngassa, Athuman Idd and Hamis Yusuph.

Two Libyan teams including Yanga opponents, Al Akhdar, had expressed interest to sign the trio although Yanga officials were not in a position to respond to their demand.

Yanga's competition committee member Emmanuel Mpangala confirmed Libyan team's move, but declined to give more details as Yanga are still competing with the Libyan side.

Mpangala said Yanga may refuse to allow their players to hold talks with Al Akhdar or any other Libyan side after the end of their return leg match in a fortnight.

Mpangala said beside the Confederations Cup, Yanga are also hottest contenders in the domestic premiership league which they are leading by 43 points, with a five points cushion. "We do not want to mix up things and eventually mess up the Confederations Cup and Mainland championships which are of top priority for the moment," said Mpangala.

Meanwhile, Mpangala said his team is expected to arrive back home tomorrow in readiness for the return leg tie and domestic league title campaign.

Yanga drew 1-1 with their hosts to keep their hopes of progressing into the third round of the Confederations Cup championship.
