However club official Ronald Ngala has ruled out signing any foreign players.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We cannot sign any foreign players in June. We already have five foreigners and the only way we can add a foreign player to our squad is by releasing one of the five we have. Right now we do not have plans of axing any of the foreigners which means we will only sign local players in June&#8221; said Ngala to futaa.com<\/p>\n<p>Former club striker Meddie Kagere has been training with the team at Camp Toyoyo and rumours have surfaced that he could return to the club in June.\u00a0 But the club already has five foreigners which is the KPL lilmit. The five are Karim Nizigiyimana, Jacques Tuyisenge, Abouba Sibomana, Khalid Aucho and Geoffrey Walusimbi.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately however, it is up to coach Ze Maria to determine whether keeping the current set of foreigners is more important than finding a fit and sharp striker who can put the ball in the net regularly. So Kagere could very well convince the coach.<\/p>\n<p>Another option that has been discussed is to recall in form striker Timothy Otieno. A club official mentioned this as a likely possibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was the former coach Frank Nuttall, who did not give Timothy Otieno a chance to play. He is a very good striker as we have already seen and we intend to recall him during the June transfer window.&#8221; said an official to goal.com<\/p>\n<p>Still it is difficult to understand how Nuttall would have selected Otieno ahead of Michael Olunga or Meddie Kagere.<\/p>\n<p>Otieno has been in form and was named KPL player of the month in March. He is currently among the leagues leading scorers.<\/p>\n<p>But Otieno appears to be liking his time at Rangers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel good as a player because, as you all know, I didn\u2019t get any playing time from where I moved (Gor Mahia) so I take this time to thank my team-mates and the coach (Zedekiah Otieno) who believed in me to allow me showcase what I have; and you can see that within the first two months I have emerged the best player. I think this season is mine, &#8221; he said to futaa.com last week.<\/p>\n<p>New coach Ze Maria will need to do a lot of convincing for Otieno to seriously consider returning.<\/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-mahias-options-for-june-transfer-season\/\"\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 will be looking for options to sharpen their attack which has been blunt during the June transfer season.<\/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":[297,135],"class_list":["post-8354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-meddie-kagere","tag-timothy-otieno"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8354","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=8354"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8354\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8357,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8354\/revisions\/8357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
