Record champions Gor Mahia will be under a particular spotlight during this period as they search for a replacement for their star attacking midfielder Austin Odhiambo.

Finding a player of Odhiambo’s caliber will be a top priority for the K’Ogalo management if they hope to maintain their creative edge in the title race.

Ulinzi Stars are also expected to be active in the market following the loss of  several key players to the Military Recruits Training School during the first leg of the season.

Head coach Stephen Ocholla has already hinted at reinforcements noting that the team is currently working with a very lean squad

” We will be exploring possible additions when the window opens because right now we have a thin squad to choose from,” said Ocholla just before the league broke for the festive break.

The upcoming window will be good opportunity to add depth and quality to the Lang’ata based side.
