AFC Leopards midfielder Austin Odhiambo and his brother Tyson Otieno who turns out for Mathare United are also on their radar.

The team is seeking to rebuild after losing some key players. Clifton Miheso is looking for a new home after leaving the club while Charles Momanyi has moved to Tusker FC. Kenneth Muguna moved to Tanzania while a number of players are said to be determined to quit due to nonpayment of salaries.

Before the end of the season, Gor new coach Mark Harrison disclosed that he will be beefing up all departments.

“I have identified three strikers from Nigeria, Malawi, and the DRC. Even before our last match against Nzoia Sugar, I didn’t know the whereabouts of Tito (Okello) and Jules (Ulimwengu). The team will have new foreign strikers as I look to rebuild the squad and challenge for the league title,” he told Nairobi News.

Gor Mahia is working round the clock to ensure they are cleared by FIFA to register players after the club was reported by various players to the Disputes Resolution Chamber (DRC) for failing to honour its contractual obligations.
