Kenya Police have been the busiest and most transparent in the market so far but a number of top flight sides have decided to go about their business secretly
The Football Kenya Federation Premier League transfer window officially opened on June 26 and since then, clubs have been in a rush against time to beef up their squads ahead of the 2023-24 season.
However, while many teams have been linked with a number of players, just a few have confirmed their signings with most sides preferring to go about their business secretly.
So, what are the done deals in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League so far?
Gor Mahia
Kevin Juma
While Gor Mahia have not confirmed the deal yet, Kevin Juma’s move to K’Ogalo qualifies to be on the list courtesy of Nzoia Sugar’s confirmation that he has left the club this week.
Nzoia announced that Juma has signed a four-year contract with the Premier League champions, boosting coach Jonathan McKinstry’s side in midfield as they eye to defend their title as well as compete in the CAF Champions League.
Kenya Police
Kenneth Muguna
Kenya Police have been the busiest and more transparent team so far after confirming the signing of former Gor Mahia captain Kenneth Muguna who joined as a free agent following his two-year spell with Tanzanian side Azam FC.
The experienced midfielder is set to add bite and dynamism to the law enforcers in the middle of the pack with intense competition expected among coach Francis Baraza’s charges in the area.
Tyson Otieno
)
Kenya Police also fended off stiff competition from champions Gor Mahia to snap up highly-rated attacking midfielder Tyson Otieno from Kariobangi Sharks.
The youngster was a handful for opponents last season and Police have a gem on their hands. The only problem is how he will fit in at his new team or whom he will displace within the midfield.
Salim Babu
)
While focus has been on the players, Kenya Police also roped in Salim Babu who swapped his role as head coach at Nzoia Sugar to become Francis Baraza’s assistant.
Police are leaving nothing to chance in a bid to win the league title and believe a combination of Baraza and Babu will deliver them to the ‘Promised Land’ after the two won Sony Sugar the league crown in 2006.
Ulinzi Stars
Vincent Morio Odhiambo
Ulinzi Stars decided to replace Bernard Mwalala with Vincent Morio Odhiambo as their coach, albeit on an interim basis.
Odhiambo is an appointment from within who is set to steady the ship as they look for a long-term replacement. The 2010 champions finished a disappointing ninth last season and will need to be careful before they settle on the man to lead them for the future.
KCB
Bernard Mwalala
)
KCB have also not announced any new players but confirmed the arrival of coach Bernard Mwalala on Friday.
The bankers parted ways with coach Zedekiah ‘Zico’ Otieno after their fifth-place finish, that left them six points short of champions Gor Mahia, and Mwalala is tasked with winning the league title.
The former Ulinzi Stars and Bandari tactician will now start making his own signings to shape the squad to fit into his philosophy.
