The player has been given a lucrative Sh1.9 million per month deal according to his handlers.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes a week after <strong>Goal<\/strong> exclusively reported that Lavasta was set to ditch the club after declining to extend his contract. A source close to Lavatsa revealed to Goal then, \u201cHe will not be at Gor Mahia this season. He has received a lucrative offer which he cannot decline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Gor Mahia completed their 10 day\u00a0camp in Loitoktok and will therefore, shift base to the capital from Monday 13. Coach Bobby Wiliamson told Goal that the high altitude training session was expected to build on endurance and work as a bonding session for the champions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPressure is definitely on us when the season officially gets underway. We shall be representing the nation at Caf Champions League and also fighting to defend our title,\u201d said the Scott, who recently penned a three year contract extension at\u00a0the local giants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been absolute pleasure working with my players in a serene and quiet environment. The new signings joined thereafter so it was really good working with full house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former Uganda Cranes boss said he was impressed seeing his\u00a0players undergoing a lot of physical fitness and conditioning. That way he said they will start the 2014 season on a high.<\/p>\n<h3>Player Contracts<\/h3>\n<p>Once again as was the case with Mosoti, a player has left and Gor Mahia will not receive any compensation. It stems from Gor Mahia&#8217;s habit of letting player contracts lapse. This will have to change especially now that Adel Amrouche is acting as national team coach \/ player agent.<\/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\/lavatsa-joins-algerian-club\/\"\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>courtesy of goal.com Gor Mahia striker Edwin Lavatsa left the country for Algeria on Saturday to join Club de African.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3653\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
