Kenyan
Premier League (KPL) clubs have until midnight to complete paperwork on their
new signings before the KPL midseason transfer window closes.
Sofapaka
have also had a silent transfer window, as they have lost seven key players
including Agwanda, Abdoul Razak Fiston, Shaffique Batambuze, Elly Asieche, and
Kago.
Muhoroni Youth
Muhoroni Youth have been the busiest club this period, bringing in 11 players among them Kevin Oluoch (Gor Mahia), Wycliffe Ochomo (Police), Taufic Zakari (Gor Mahia) and Francis Ochola from Shabana.
Top
dogs AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia are undergoing serious financial challenges and
the reduced budget the two teams are working under has made the June transfer
period a rather dull affair. The two have only acquired one player each, with K’Ogalo signing Enock Agwanda from Sofapaka with Ingwe netting goalkeeper Lucas Indeche from Sony Sugar. Both
were free transfers.
Ingwe
have had trouble meeting the 18-man threshold for players in their last two
matches, and they had tabled a request to the KPL management seeking the
extension of the transfer period to allow them secure new players. KPL has
however turned a deaf ear to the pleas of the 13-time champions.
FC Leopards
Leopards lost several key players among them captain Martin Imbalambala, goalkeepers
Wyclef Kasaya and Joel Bataro, defender Joseph Shikokoti and club top scorer
Jacob Keli.
Chemelil Sugar
Chemelil Sugar have attained the “money bags” status for the midseason transfer period having blown a good KSh475, 000 to revamp their squad.
The
sugarmillers have their targets set on finishing in the top five, and they KSh250,000
to pluck out Joseph Kariuki from Kakamega Homeboyz.
They
also snatched Mohammed Mwachiponi and Joshua Oyoo from Bandari and KCB
respectively and accepted back goalkeeper Jairus Adira.
Each
of these three signings cost the club KSh50, 000. Ten time champions Tusker
have also been quiet this window; they acquired Danson Kago and Eugene Asike on
a free transfer from Sofapaka and goalkeeper Martin Musalia from AFC Leopards.
