Reports: Gor Mahia signs Jacob Keli
In a bid to bolster the attack which has recently lost Meddie Kagere and Timothy Otieno. Gor Mahia has apparently signed Jacob Keli from Nkana FC.
“Gor Mahia is a respected club and I am happy to be part of the team known for its passionate fans and admirable history,” an excited Keli told michezoafrika.com. I feel excited to be back home in the local league and look forward to giving my best for my new club” he said to goal.com
Only yesterday, other reports suggested that Keli was headed to Bandari.
Signing a striker of Keli’s caliber is important considering that the club has lost Kagere, Timothy Otieno and will at some point soon lose Michael Olunga.
Jacob Keli Mutunga first burst into the limelight when he played for KCB in 2013 and ended up as the top scorer in the Kenya Premier League with 17 goals. He then joined AFC Leopards in 2015 before leaving to join the Zambian outfit. During the previous transfer season he was rumoured to be joining Gor Mahia and even attended an event hosted by chairman Ambrose Rachier. He joined Nkana FC in July of 2015 in the Zambian mid-season on a two year contract. However he was unable to settle into a regular starting position in the Zambian side.
Keli has partnered with Olunga at national team level such as when Kenya played against Cape Verde and again in the CECAFA senior challenge cup. They therefore have a level of familiarity. Coach Frank Nuttall has proven that if given time, he can create good cohesion between strikers.
Thanks EC,for job well done. Let’s hope for the n
Best
It will b interesting to see how Keli performs with ‘Adrenalin’.
Watch….with Adrenalin he will be be a superstar at Gor. Gor players perfomance is adrenalin driven
That is what we want we will give him the push…all great clubs rely on the adrenalin to succeed. Look at Olunga now.
2nd: We also know the Ingwe can beat Barcelona in an empty stadium.
Question is, Ingwe play most of their matches in empty stadiums, so plz tell us why u never win.
Welcome back @ingo. Things are still thick at the den. Hope they improve
Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa.
This partnership can penetrate Wydad and TP Mazembe fortress. Kazi ianze.
2016. Another unbeaten run
Thanks for this major catch. What of central defence? Just thinking there was need for some addition there, is cheche there or not?
hope Keli will fill the void left by Kagere
Who cares if the players are driven by adrenalin or not as long as we are getting the results! !
Keli had a good scoring record at kcb and even afc before he left for Zambia. ..let’s hope he brings that to the only team that matters in Kenya. ..the mighty Gor!!
Welcome Keli. The EC has also shown us that they are trying to do their best for the club in looking for good players. Congratulations
even for David Cheche we read such news only to be disappointed later. I no longer trust such news until the day I see the players in the field playing
its true ako gor
lf its true ago gor ame sign contract kweli?
Welcome Keli.
What about Cheche? I think next week is the last date of late submission of the final list to CAF if I’m not wrong…
the team has reported to camp without several players. let us treat such news as rumours until we see these ‘new’ players on the pitch.
