Besides Kizito, Gor are reportedly finalizing a deal with creative Bandari winger Shaban Kenga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Kenga was a star performer last season for the coastal side to emerge as the second best midfielder of the year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe have agreed on 95 percent of the deal and Kenga will be our player any time from now,\u201d said Bwana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>K\u2019Ogalo are also set to bring back into the fold former playmaker Rama Salim who left the club in August last year to join Qatari division two side Al-Marhiya.
