TRANSFERS: Big spending Police outbid Gor Mahia out of highly-rated midfielder
K'Ogalo were destined to get their transfer target before the South C based side snatched him in the 11th hour.
Gor Mahia, one of Kenya's most successful football clubs, had shown keen interest in bringing the gifted midfielder on board during the off-season transfer window.
However, it was Kenya Police FC who emerged victorious in securing Otieno's services, much to the disappointment of their rivals.
"Tyson Otieno has penned down a contract with the dream club for many players," announced Kenya Police FC in a statement released on Saturday morning.
The law enforcers expressed their delight at securing the signature of the highly sought-after midfielder, recognising the value he will bring to their team.
Coach Francis Baraza, eager to revamp the midfield with quality and depth, views Otieno's arrival as a significant advantage.
The addition of Tyson Otieno to Kenya Police FC's ranks is expected to provide a substantial boost to their midfield department, complementing the recent acquisitions of former Azam FC player Kenneth Muguna.

The duo’s combined talents are set to create a formidable midfield lineup for the law enforcers, bolstering their chances in the upcoming FKFPL season.
Otieno's move to Kenya Police FC also holds a unique connection within the footballing realm, as he is the younger brother of Gor Mahia's Austin Odhiambo.
This familial link adds an intriguing dimension to the player's transfer and sets the stage for potential future clashes between the brothers on the pitch, igniting sibling rivalry and captivating football enthusiasts across the nation.
The signing of Otieno represents Kenya Police FC's ambition to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the FKFPL.
