Ugandan striker Charles Bbaale has arrived in Nairobi for talks with Gor Mahia regarding a potential move to the FKF Premier League champions, according to Pan-Africa Football.Gor Mahia is keen on signing a striker when the transfer window opens on Friday. Club CEO Raymond Oruo recently stated that the club is focused on bolstering their attacking options with a natural center-forward as they aim for a 22nd league title in the second half of the season.##NAJAVA_MECA_8658075##”We are particularly looking to strengthen the striker position, specifically an out-and-out forward, as well as a backup goalkeeper. We’ve noticed some weaknesses in those areas, and there’s also a need to address the right-back position,” Oruo told Citizen Digital.Talks with the striker come after Bbaale concluded an 18-month stint with Rwanda’s Rayon Sports. The Ugandan joined the Rwandan side in 2023 following a successful campaign with SC Villa in Uganda. Bbaale hopes to follow in the footsteps of numerous Ugandan players who have featured for Gor Mahia over the years.Kakamega Homeboyz take action after controversial officiating against Gor MahiaDuring his time at Rayon Sports, Bbaale played a key role in their 2023 FERWAFA Super Cup victory, scoring in a 3-0 win over APR FC. However, his current season has been less impactful under coach Robertinho, with limited playing time and only two league goals—against Gasogi United and Musanze FC. After spending much of the first half of the season back in Kampala, Bbaale has decided to part ways with the Rwandan side. If the move to Gor Mahia goes ahead, he will reunite with fellow Ugandan Pius Akena, who joined the club at the start of the season but has also seen limited playing time.Murang’a Seal custodian on two reasons why he prefers big gamesIn addition to Bbaale, Gor Mahia is reportedly looking to further strengthen their squad, with former striker Benson Omala linked with a return to the club for a third stint. Omala was omitted from this season’s squad by Lebanese club Al-Safa SC.Although Gor Mahia has had an inconsistent season so far, they currently sit third in the league standings with 28 points from 17 matches. They trail leaders Kenya Police FC by eight points, but with a game in hand.
