Alex is yet to submit his bank account and once he does that we will clear with him as well. The goal is to clear all these cases before the end of the year and hopefully be allowed to recruit players from January,” he added.According to the club supremo, the club will walk away from the unplanned signing of foreigners, and those who will be allowed to don the white and blue must be internationals in their countries.“The haphazard signing of foreign players is going to be a thing of the past. We want to have the best Kenyan talents and if we are to go outside the boarders we must bring on board players who are part of their national teams. We do not want to get into trouble with FIFA again over the quality of players that we can source locally,”.Gor Mahia, Sharks clash after fortnight break with unbeaten status at stake
