Akumu set for Denmark trials
Gor Mahia midfielder, Anthony Akumu has caught the eyes of European talent scouts and is set to go to Denmark to attend trials with Randers FC, the same team that has signed George Odhiambo “Blackberry”. The Kenya Under-20 midfielder was spotted by the scouts who had come to watch Blackberry.
Given his superlative perfornance for Kogalo, given the fact that Kenyan defensive midfielders seem able to find success in Europe and given his youthfulness, he stands a good chance of being signed on. He will become the third Gor Mahia player ever to attend European trials. Stopper Sammy Omollo attended trials with English second tier side, Bournemouth in 1993. Peter Opiyo attended trials with Fortuna Dussefldorf of Germany last year.
With the impending departure of Blackberry, possibly Abdimalik and now Akumu, Gor Mahia have a tall order to reload for next year with rivals Sofapaka and Ulinzi already recharging for next year. We wish Akumu all the best in Denmark.
Go for it boss.yes you can
Good begining for the club!! Keep it up and I know most of the Kogalo players will be soon joining the European teams. The next will be Masika, Makori, Ngwa and Kevin.
Gor Mahia is the place to go for any young players who want to impress European scouts. I hope other young players are watching and learning that hard work pays, especially the undisciplined Paul Were
This is good news,am happy for our club as much as i will miss all the players going for greener pastures…i wish them well and opefully Akumu Malik will all sign up..I hope we snap up Ezekiel Odera and that we use the monies got from the transfers to buy our team a bus and playing kits like shin guards n the like..But so far soo good….Mayienga mayiengo piny!
Hm… Randers FC has announced that Teddy is up here for trials. I guess he’s freezing: http://www.randersfc.dk/index.php?afd=1&side=4827
But Randers FC has never announced anything about Blackberry. If they really have signed a contract, they would have announced it. Something is weird…
@Mathias Schweartz Kirkegaard
Yes Randers FC have. In the summer 2010, Randers got Blackberry on a trial, but he can’t join our squad because of his young age (you have to be 18 for leaving Africa(I think))
All the best for Kogalo boys. MR. RACHIER we need a new bigger and better stadium.
As much as we wish them well, why cant we pay them well and get more incentives to make them happy. If we loose young players this way without good contracts in Europe its pitty. Its only Mariga who came out successful in those scandinavian countries. Cant we borrow a leaf from Clubs like in DRC. They dont allow players to go to some weird clubs for a few cents. I thought Kenya were smart business people.
Yes we can,i have always said that this is the national team and the haters dont wanna hear about it,and am saying again that GORMAHIA SHOULD BE THE NATIONAL TEAM,the only team that does not have sponsors but its the best team in the premier league,long leave K’OGALLO
GO GO AKUMU WE HAVE TRUST IN YOU JUST LIKE BLACKBERY AND I KNOW YOU WILL DELIVER TO THEIR EXPECTATION GO WE ARE WITH YOU
