Gor Mahia head coach Andreas Spier has placed the possession of quality players in his camp at the top of his priority list heading to the transfer season.
The record Kenyan champions and their arch-rivals AFC Leopards have been listed in FIFA’s bad books and consequently, have been barred from signing new players unless they clear with their former players.
The transfer embargo placed at the door of the two oldest clubs in the league exists at a time when their respective technical benches and management are struggling to hold on to or convince the key players not to switch their allegiance.
Spier who joined Gor in February following the firing of his predecessor Mark Harrison said he was keen to retain the good players at his disposal and build on their experience and upgrade the third-place finish to the top spot next season.
“It is important for me to keep the quality players that I have and try to add fresh legs if we will be in a position to. We have gaps in the team that can only be filled by new players for my aim is to have two good players in each position actively competing for playing time,” he said.
Spier who inspired Gor to beat Leopards to the Madaraka Cup triumph said he was confident of a better season in the coming term after a rather underwhelming one.
This will be the first time K’Ogalo who have been under the rebuilding phase in the last two seasons will finish a season without the league title since 2016.
