Gor Mahia deny reports that lead striker Jacques Tuyisenge is off to Simba SC

K’Ogalo remain adamant that the Rwandan striker will extend his stay and has no intentions to leave for greener pastures

Gor Mahia has refuted claims that Jacques Tuyisenge has left the club for Simba SC.

Media reports from Tanzania indicated on Monday that the Rwandan striker was already in Dar es Salaam in order to sign a pre-contract agreement with the Wekunduwa Msimbazi.

It is believed that Tuyisenge was convinced to join Simba by his former partner at K’Ogalo, Meddie Kagere who has established himself as a lethal striker for the Tanzanian giants.

However, club CEO Omondi Aduda has denied the claims maintaining that the player is currently with the team in Kisumu and that he has no problem as to whether he is unhappy being a Gor Mahia player.

“Tuyisenge is under contract with Gor Mahia until the year 2020 and those reports, for now, are not factual. He is our player and any club be it Simba or AS Vita who want to sign him have to talk to us before talking to the player.

“Fifa rules are very clear on how the player transfer business should be conducted. The club that wants to sign a player from another club has to approach the parent club well before making a move to the player himself.

“If any club will illegally approach our players without our permission, then be sure that we will take them to Fifa,” Aduda told Goal in an interview.

The football administrator hopes that Tuyisenge will sign a contract extension once such talks commence.

“Talk about another player and not Tuyisenge. I am pretty sure that he loves K’Ogalo and he will want to stay even for another season with us.
