Veteran Enock Agwanda is out of favor, and there have been suggestions that he could head out on loan before the transfer window closes, but Sofapaka remains interested in his services.##NAJAVA_MECA_7125709##The former Kenyan international is however not in a rush to sign a striker. According to the tactician, the reason why they have not been scoring enough could lie elsewhere and not in the lack of clinical strikers.”Scoring is not about the striker. Building up starts with the goalkeeper, and defending starts with the strikers. Maybe there is somewhere that we are not getting it right, and that is what we need to identify and work on,” he stated.Relief for Gor Mahia as FIFA lifts player transfer ban”For us, we do not look at a striker as someone who is coming in to score but as someone who comes in to help us begin our defense,” he added.Up next for the Bankers is an away game against the Kakamega Homeboyz in Kakamega on Wednesday afternoon.
