Various reports indicate that Sofapaka intend to raid Gor Mahia for additional players. Yet again Gor Mahia has not initiated contract talks with this important player.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is true my contract is expiring next month and we haven’t engaged in any contractual extension talks with my club. Yes, Sofapaka have come knocking but the talks have not yielded much. To be precise I am still a Gor Mahia player at the moment because moving to Sofapaka is yet to materialise though I have been approached,\u201dsaid Onyango to the Nation.<\/p>\n
The former Ulinzi Stars and Sony Sugar attacker said his aim was to improve as a player this season be it at Gor Mahia or any other Kenyan Premier League team that he may feature in in the coming season.<\/p>\n
Contacted by the Nation, Sofapaka chairman Elly Kalekwa reiterated that the club has concluded its transfers this season.<\/p>\n
He, however, added that Sofapaka would not hesitate to sign a good player.<\/p>\n
He also said he was unaware of any negotiations with Onyango but was quick to add that Sofapaka is a big team comprising of many stakeholders who might have been involve in talks with the player.<\/p>\n
\u201cPersonally, I don’t know of any negotiations with Onyango. I can only recall that he was at Ulinzi Stars before joining Gor.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe there are other people in the team involved given his quality. Sofapaka is big and not Kalekwa,\u201d said the boss of the 2010 Kenyan Premier League champions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe laws is very clear that you can start negotiating with a player six months prior to the end of his contract. That is the law we followed when we signed Lawrence Juma on a free transfer,\u201d said Kalekwa.<\/p>\n
But it is the same Kalekwa who had at one point said they were no longer pursuing Lawrence Juma because his demands were too high.<\/p>\n
Samuel Onyango was in the SoNy Sugar Youth team before joining Ulinzi in 2015. He then joined Gor Mahia in 2017 and has proven an instrumental player.<\/p>\n
Reporter Mike Okinyi tweeted that Sofapaka are intent on signing even more Kogalo players.<\/p>\n
