"Timbe is in Japan to complete his move to Vissel Kobe," a source close to the player told Goal on Friday. "It is a done deal."
At Vissel Kobe, a club that has won various honours including being in the top-tier for 16, 11 seasons in the second tier, two seasons in the third and eight seasons in the Regional Leagues, the Kenyan will rub shoulders with known stars including former Arsenal and Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen.
