Keli ready to fit the breach
With Michael Olunga all set to begin his career in European football, Gor Mahia will be looking for a person who can fit the breach left by Olunga who scored more goals than anyone else in Kenya in 2015.
That man could be Jacob Keli. He is no stranger to scoring goals, having led the Kenya Premier League in scoring in 2013 with 17 goals. Keli has expressed an eagerness to prove his worth in the green Kogalo jersey.
“I am eager to return to the Kenyan Premier League and I really want to to score many goals for Gor. I know I have that ability and just ask for support from the fans. They are a big part of this big club,” Keli said to the KPL website.
Playing for Gor Mahia almost always brings out the best in many players. Olunga reached soaring heights after he played for Gor Mahia. Sserunkuma was called to the Uganda national team after he played for Gor Mahia. Now Keli also believes that playing for this storied club will bring out the best in him.
“Gor Mahia is a big club with ambitions and it performs year in year out. It is a new challenge to me which I humbly accept, and hope it will be successful to me and the club. The fans are amazing and can push you to give your maximum and because of that expectations are high from each player, who turns out for the team,” Keli said to goal.com
Other reports suggest that Gor Mahia are in the midst of finalizing a contract with Rwandese strike Jacque Tuyisenge according to a report on rwanda.foot.com. Tuyisenge who has already been nicknamed “Ja usenge” by a section of Kogalo fans confirmed this.
“They offered me a two year contract and I’m okey with it,” The player said.
He currently plays for Police FC. Back in 2011, Gor Mahia were trying to strike a deal with the same team to sign Meddie Kagere. The deal came a cropper when Police asked for a transfer fee of Ksh 4 million.
They only have two days before the CAF deadline. kama ni Kagere ama Tuyisenge, please just make up your mind and sign. CNAPS are waiting for Kogalo in February.
On Tuyiesenge, the club is best advised not to discuss the deal until it is finalized. Now other teams hae joined in the chase for tuyisenge.
And by the way we cannot sign Tuyisenge till CHAN starts else he will be eligible. That therefore means that even if we sign him he will not be part of the CHAN campaign. Sad but that’s the reality
@Dan Original – why would he be ineligible for CHAN?
has the team left for Ethiopia yet?
Welcome,Ja-Usenge to the Home of Champions and always feel at home.May God protect Kogalo and guide us to glory.
