Clubs hoping to sign the 2025 Kenyan Premier League top scorer, Moses Shumah, will have to fork out between Sh10 million and Sh15 million, Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has announced.
Shumah’s remarkable journey from a promising talent to a coveted striker in KPL and Harambee Stars has captured the attention of local fans and piqued the interest of international clubs.
Power Dynamos, the recent Zambian champions, are reportedly eager to sign him ahead of next season’s CAF Champions League.
Shumah’s ascent has been nothing short of spectacular. His 17 goals this season, a dazzling display of skill and precision, haven’t just secured him the Golden Boot; they’ve ignited a bidding war that’s shaking the foundations of the Kenyan league.
His contributions were instrumental in propelling Homeboyz to a commendable third-place finish with 58 points, solidifying their position as a formidable force in Kenyan football.
“We want people to understand that important things are moving in this direction. Not only Dynamos, but also Zesco United and a South African team are interested in him. But the most serious ones are Dynamos,” Shimanyula said.
Shumah’s journey is a captivating narrative. From his relatively unassuming arrival at Homeboyz in 2022, he’s blossomed into a coveted striker and initially attracted the attention of local giants Gor Mahia.
However, the interest did not materialise due to the financial barriers imposed by the club’s valuation. His meteoric rise is a testament to hard work, undeniable talent, and the transformative power of opportunity.
The implications of this price increase are manifold. For Power Dynamos, eager to make their mark in the CAF Champions League, Shumah represents a strategic acquisition – a gamble on a player whose potential could redefine their continental ambitions. The stakes are high, the pressure immense.
Power Dynamos, having recently clinched the Zambian championship, recognises that bolstering their squad with a player of Shumah’s calibre could be a game-changer in their continental pursuits.
The prospect of competing on an international stage adds a layer of complexity to the transfer negotiations, as clubs weigh the benefits of immediate investment against the long-term potential of nurturing local talent.
