Kagere has been a target of Simba and Yanga along with Francis Kahata.\u00a0 The Rwandese striker arrived quietly in Tanzania and was photographed with Simba officials by Tanzanian news outlet Mwanaspoti.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mwanaspoti.co.tz\/image\/view\/-\/4630992\/highRes\/2022105\/-\/maxw\/600\/-\/d3evj4z\/-\/Kagere+pic.jpg\" width=\"595\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So secretive was the move that Gor Mahia officials appear to have been caught off guard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly speaking I am not aware that Kagere is in Tanzania. He came to me on Sunday and requested for a day off as he intended to travel back home to get the new passport. I am shocked to hear from you that he instead, travelled to Tanzania,&#8221; said Jolawi Obondo to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on, coach Dylan Kerr was quoted as saying that the club will only sign one player.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have a good team, I have full trust in this team. This window we will not be very active, we are looking for one striker and that will be it. The truth is it&#8217;s not easy to get a good striker during this window but we will keep looking. If we do not find one, I will continue with the group I have,&#8221; he said to futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>With the glut of fixtures facing the club, one would have expected Kogalo to pursue at least three players.<\/p>\n<p>One player who has been linked with a move to Gor Mahia is Erisa Sekisambu, a Ugandan player who plays as an attacking midfielder and sometimes as a forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think I will be at Vipers next season,\u201d Ssekisambu revealed while he appeared on NTV Press Box last month. \u201cI have served the Ugandan league, it\u2019s now time to face new challenges,\u201d he told Kawowo sports.<\/p>\n<p>Sekisambu who has featured for the Uganda Cranes, currently players for Vipers FC alongside Dan Sserunkuma. He had previously played for URA, Express and Sports Club Villa.<\/p>\n<p>Another player whom Gor Mahia might pursue is Burundian attacker Francis Mustapha who has expressed an interest in joining Kogalo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I watched them play Rayon Sports (in the Caf Confederation Cup in Kigali) and said to myself &#8216;this is the team I want to play for&#8217;. Even in Bujumbura, everybody knows about Gor Mahia. Under their current coach, they are playing very sexy football which suits me.&#8221; said Mustapha to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Mustapha indicated that the club had indeed approached him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Gor Mahia officials reached out to me earlier this month, I was excited, but at that time the league was in a crucial stage and I couldn&#8217;t get time to come to Nairobi to finalize the move. Now I am ready because we play our final league match of the season on Wednesday.\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/gor-mahia-transfer-news-june-26\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gor Mahia appear set to lose their leading scorer Meddie Kagere to Tanzanian side Simba Sports club.
