TRANSFERS Gor Mahia sign Kevin Juma on long term deal as Babu's Nzoia exit is confirmed
The tactician has terminated his contract with the club he led to fourth place in the 2022/23 season.
Chelsea averaged a goal per game last season, finished 12th, and missed out on European football, and Mauricio Pochettino is keen on bolstering the squad, especially the frontline.
Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku from Villarreal and RB Leipzig, respectively, are the players that Chelsea have signed so far, but pundits claim they will need a more established and experienced centre-forward.

The FKF Premier League opponents will carry the flag of the country in continental club competitions.
The England international had been linked with Chelsea before he was banned by the FA after he was found guilty of gambling, and the suspension means he will only resume training on September 17.
He scored 20 goals last season in 33 games, and that makes him an elite Premier League striker despite the ban.
