Kenyan football powerhouse Gor Mahia FC is on the verge of securing the services of Ugandan striker Charles Bbaale, with sources close to the player confirming that arrangements for his travel to Nairobi are in advanced stages.
The move could be finalized early next week, pending successful negotiations.
Bbaale, who recently parted ways with Rwanda Premier League side Rayon Sports, has attracted significant interest from the Kenyan Premier League record champions.
Reports suggest Gor Mahia has offered the striker a two-year deal to add to their attacking options.
The 2023 FERWAFA Super Cup winner is seen as a valuable addition to Gor Mahia’s squad as they seek to reclaim dominance in the league.
Bbaale joined Rayon Sports at the start of the 2023/24 season from Ugandan giants SC Villa, where he established himself as a clinical forward.
At Rayon, he played a pivotal role in their Super Cup triumph, scoring crucial goals in their 3-0 victory over APR FC.
However, his playing time dwindled this season under coach Roberto Oliveira, contributing only two league goals against Gasogi United and Musanze FC.
With Gor Mahia aiming to bolster their attack, Bbaale’s experience and talent could provide a significant boost.
The Nairobi-based club has a decorated history, boasting 21 Kenyan Premier League titles and 11 FKF President’s Cups, and they hope Bbaale can contribute to further success.
