Players to be released will be formerly known after the Everton trip, however, we have learnt that Ivorian Ephriam Guikan is not in the plans of coach Dylan Kerr for next season.

The club is racing against time to find a soft landing for him so that they can sign either Burundian Caleb Bimenyimana of Rayon Sports or Ugandan Irissa Ssekisumba.

Apart from defending their KPL crown which they won for a record 17th time last season, Gor will also be representing the country in the CAF Champions League.

The signings are projected to help Gor balance their plays as the players suffered from fatigue in the just concluded Sportpesa Kenya Premier League.

Gor expects to sign players that will help the team in all the competitions.

Victor Wanyama’s father Noah Wanyama has purportedly taken over management of AFC Leopards.

The group led by Mathews Opwora as interim chairman and Susan Wamalwa as general secretary announced the changes after an “extraordinary meeting of concerned members” Monday.

Wanyama, who is not new to leadership squabbles that have rocked the Kenyan Premier League giants in the past, is listed as a member.

According to the new team the “outgoing” leadership of chairman Dan Mule failed to comply with registrar of sports directive to hold elections by 24 August 2018 among other requirements.

“The former officials, who lacked substantive powers anyway, had failed to comply with provisions of the sports act, the constitution and the requirement as laid down in the inter alia certificate of registration no. 30 issued to them by the registrar of sports,” a statement signed by Susan reads in part.

They have given themselves a 90 day mandate during which they will among other things put in place a new constitution in line with the sports act.
