Kenyan record champions Gor Mahia FC have reportedly identified Ebenezer Kofi Assifuah as a key transfer target as the club intensifies plans to reinforce its attacking department ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The Ghanaian forward, widely remembered for his sensational performance at the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup, where he emerged as top scorer with six goals, is viewed as a player who could add both quality and experience to K’Ogalo’s frontline. His exploits at the tournament earned him global recognition and paved the way for a career across multiple continents.
Assifuah has since enjoyed a diverse club career, turning out for Liberty Professionals in Ghana before moving to Europe, where he played for FC Sion in Switzerland, winning the Swiss Cup, and later featuring for Le Havre AC and Pau FC in France. He has also had a stint in Asia with Kedah Darul Aman FC in Malaysia, giving him valuable exposure to different playing styles and competitive environments.
At international level, the striker has represented the Ghana senior national team and was part of the AFCON 2017 squad, further underlining his pedigree and experience on the big stage.
Sources close to the situation indicate that talks are still at an exploratory stage, with Gor Mahia assessing the financial and sporting feasibility of the move as they look to boost their goal-scoring options for domestic and continental competitions.
With Gor Mahia keen to remain competitive both locally and on the continental stage, could Assifuah be the high-profile signing to spearhead their attack? K’Ogalo fans will be watching closely as the transfer window approaches.
