Gor Mahia target Ghanaian midfielder amid international tug-of-war

Festus Chuma 11:18 - 19.07.2024

K'Ogalo are reportedly close to signing a high-profile free agent amid interest from rival clubs.

Record Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) champions Gor Mahia are intensifying their pursuit of Ghanaian midfielder Enock Morrison, in what could be a significant transfer coup.

Morrison, a dynamic player recently released by Asante Kotoko, is now on the radar of several prominent clubs, with K’Ogalo appearing to lead the chase.

The 23-year-old midfielder, who transitioned from King Faisal to Kotoko in 2022, has had a turbulent stint, accumulating just one goal and two assists from 22 appearances.

Despite these figures, his underlying performances have caught the eye of several teams.

"The talented attacking midfielder has booked a flight to Kenya for this Friday afternoon, ahead of undergoing a medical and signing a two-year contract with the Kenyan outfit," revealed a report from Ghana Page 1.

This development comes as Gor Mahia looks to fill the gap left by Austin Odhiambo who is on his way to Belgian powerhouse KAA Gent.

Morrison's potential arrival at Gor Mahia is not without its challenges, as competition heats up with Hearts of Oak and Tanzania Premier League side Geita Gold also expressing strong interest.

The lure of playing for the record FKFPL champions might tip the scales in Gor Mahia's favor but the pursuit is far from a closed deal.

As the transfer saga unfolds Gor Mahia's management remains tight-lipped about the negotiations.

However, insiders suggest that Morrison's profile as a versatile midfielder makes him an ideal candidate to rejuvenate the team's midfield dynamism.

This signing could significantly influence Gor Mahia's strategy and performance in the upcoming season.
