Gor Mahia's new signing Levin Odhiambo has revealed his targets after completing a long-anticipated move to the 20-time champions from rivals Tusker.
Levin 'Leftie' Odhiambo has revealed excitement at finally signing for Gor Mahia following months of negotiations.
Odhiambo had been in the midst of a transfer tussle since January, when Tusker reportedly demanded Ksh3 million for his services, something Gor Mahia could not agree to considering the marauding left-back only had two months left on the one-year deal he signed when he joined from Mathare United in March 2023.
He has joined K’Ogalo as a free agent, and was unveiled on Tuesday before taking part in his first training session with the club.
Expressing his satisfaction with the long-awaited transfer, Odhiambo told Pulse Sports, “It is a good feeling for me because I had been talking to Gor Mahia for quite some time and finally it has happened even if it came late.
