Nzoia Sugar will be actively involved in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) transfer window set for January but this round, the focus shifts to the goalkeeping department.Nzoia have endured a tough start to the season that has seen the Bungoma-based club a shadow of last season’s team that went neck on with top dogs for the FKF-PL title but lost to eventual winners Gor Mahia.##NAJAVA_MECA_7744914##The Geoffrey Odour charges find them in unfamiliar territory as they sit at rock bottom of the eighteen-team league standings with 10 points having managed two wins, four draws, and lost on nine instances.Even more concerning, is the defensive record the club boost at the moment, having shipped in 22 goals in 15 matches the second-worst in the league, and are a goal to equaling last season’s tally that saw them concede 23 times the whole campaign.Speaking to Mozzart Sport, the Millers’ goalkeeper trainer Erick Wasike disclosed that the club is seeking to bring in a proven goalkeeper who will help steady the Sugar men’s defense.AFC Leopards pursue out-of-court settlement with former staff amid legal disputesHe noted that the lack of a clear replacement when the club lost Humphry Katasi to AFC Leopards has contributed hugely to the unwanted record and multiple injuries to his shot-stoppers have also influenced the outcome.“We are looking for an experienced goalkeeper. Once we get one we will embark on strengthening other departments. We failed to replace Katasi and it is now haunting us. The plan is to try and get one down but if we can get two very good custodians we will sign both,” disclosed Wasike.The former Bungoma Superstars gaffer hinted at the possibility of the team parting ways with two players from his department. We have since established that the Millers’ off-season signing from Gusii FC Bernard Onunga is one of the players set to be axed.Meanwhile, the sugar men have registered interest in former Kakamega Homeboyz and current Luanda Villa custodian Elix Otieno as the potential replacement of the under-fire Onunga with talks in the advance phase.“We are in touch with several players but the most concrete talks we have held with Elix at Luanda Villa and if things go to plan we are going to bring him on board in January,” concluded Wekesa.Shabana FC defender hails unwavering fan support as key catalyst for success
