Benson Omala is focused on hitting new heights with Gor Mahia after putting the controversial Harambe Stars’ snub to rest.The FKF Premier League top scorer was a surprise omission when Stars head coach Engin Firat named the squad that traveled to Iran for Tuesday’s international friendly match against the hosts in Tehran.##NAJAVA_MECA_7137197##His omission, after what has been his best scoring in the league elicited mixed reactions from the public with the majority arguing that the move was unjust. He has scored 19 goals in 20 league games.The player is however unmoved and is solely focused on helping the league leaders reclaim the league title.“I’m focused on fighting for my team on the pitch and being dropped from Harambee Stars has not affected me. It is now an issue which is behind me as I focus on our matches,” he told the Nation.Reprieve!

I know he is going to have a big future not just here at K’Ogalo but also for the Harambee Stars. I know he will score a lot of international goals but every coach has the way he wants his team to play, and at this moment the technical bench have decided one way and we have got to accept that.”We know Benson is going to come back. He is chasing that Golden Boot record in Kenya and we are confident he can do that and by scoring more goals in the green of K’Ogalo, he can help push us towards our targets this season,” he said in an interview with Sports Eye.Omala will be hoping to add to his tally when Gor Mahia host Vihiga Bullets on Wednesday at the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani.
