Gor Mahia coach Hassan Oktay has distanced himself from reports the club have signed Rwandan midfielder Djabel Manishimiwe.
“I don’t even know the boy [Manishimiwe],” a visibly surprised Oktay is quoted by Nairobi News.
“I did not ask anyone [at the club] to sign him because we are not looking for midfielders. I want a striker. A good one. We have lost the best striker in East Africa and we need to replace him with similar quality.”
Oktay’s remarks will raise more questions than answers over Manishimiwe’s reported transfer to Gor Mahia.
