Gor Mahia complete one signing, eye two more players in January window – Rachier

Record Kenyan champions Gor Mahia have bolstered their squad after completing the signing of winger Shariff Musa from Bidco United, SportPesa News can confirm.

Club chairman Ambrose Rachier, in an exclusive interview, revealed that the club have been looking to add three more players to their squad in the January window that will close on 8 February 2024 as they close in on a record-extending 21^st league crown.

Currently, K’Ogalo sit at the summit of the 23/24 Football Kenya Federation Premier League on 40 points, seven ahead of second placed Nairobi City Stars and are still unbeaten after eighteen games played (W11 D7).

Rachier also revealed how K’Ogalo will go about their transfer business, noting that they will sign in two ways as they seek reinforcements to their attacking line and left back positions.

“We are going to recruit in a two-tier system. We want some three experienced players within this window to beef up the squad. Two of them to bolster the attacking department and one to provide cover for Geoffrey ‘Simiti’ Ochieng because we are short in that left back area.

Then we are looking for younger players who can be developed to be able to take over from the older ones that we have,” Rachier told SportPesa News.

Rachier also expressed his delight with the team’s current performance having managed to stay unbeaten 18 games into the season.

“I am feeling very good with the performance of the team right now because we had been condemned to so many draws that made me feel fairly low but luckily now we have come out of that.
