Gor Mahia are set to perform a major coup in the transfer market with the signing of Harambe<\/span>e Stars Congolese born striker Bob Mugalia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

But Mugalia will<\/span>, however,\u00a0have to sweat be<\/span>fore he is released by Sofapaka who have placed a hefty Sh1 million price tag on him, which Gor may find too much to afford. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Monday, Mugalia once again reiterated his desire to join the \u201cgreen army\u201d and told K\u2019Ogalo faithful to be <\/span>patient, he was on his way to the club.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI want to play for Gor Mahia. I have requested to be <\/span>allowed to play for the club and I have also asked Gor Mahia to write to Sofapaka requesting I be <\/span>released to play for them,\u201d said the player.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gor Mahia secretary George Bwana confirmed Mugalia\u2019s interest in joining the green army who are following up his transfer.<\/p>\n

\n

Mugalia who has be<\/span>en one of the key players for the 2009 champions has openly supported Gor Mahia, at one point appearing for the club\u2019s game in a Gor Mahia jersey.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And while Gor chase Mugalia, they might lose burly striker Wycliffe Ochomo to Ulinzi Stars.<\/p>\n

\n

Ulinzi Stars have confirmed they are in talks with the player and the club with the hopes of signing him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ochomo, signed from relegated Congo United midway through the just ended season, played only four games for Gor Mahia, scoring on his debut against AFC Leopards in the 3-1 win in August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But after that he only played three more games be<\/span>fore getting injured and later be<\/span>ing given leave to do his final secondary school examinations.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday, Ulinzi Stars official Joel Birgen said Ochomo is the last of the players they want to sign after landing Amon Mwamburi and Rio Hassan from Congo United and Western Stima\u2019s Kevin Amwayi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe <\/span>are trying to push Gor Mahia into <\/span>releasing Ochomo. They are still<\/span> not<\/span><\/span> will<\/span>ing to release him but we have time and we are sure we will <\/span>get him,\u201d said Birgen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gor Mahia secretary George Bwana confirmed Ulinzi Stars had placed a request for Ochomo but maintained not<\/span>hing tangible had be<\/span>en reached.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to work with the technical bench and know which player to let go and who we still need.<\/p>\n

We will not be coerced into releasing players just like that and we will ensure we fight to keep our best players,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
