Muhiddin is looking to beef up the squads in those positions to help compliment main man Hassan Abdallah.

Bandari FC are in the market for two attacking and a central midfielder to strengthen the options already at their disposal.

The Dockers, who finished last campaign in fifth place, released 11 players, and are now trying to make wholesale changes to the side under the new board of directors in order to bring them closer to winning the FKF Premier League title next season.

Speaking to Pulse Sports, new head coach Twahir Muhidin said the club is in the market for two new attackers and a midfielder to help complement the options he already has at his disposal, including main man Hassan Abdallah.

“We are not badly off in the striking and midfield department but we relied too much on Hassan Abdallah our international player,” Muhiddin said.

“We need to look for partners for him who will compliment him and help relieve him of the burden of being our main man. We need at least two attackers.”

Last season’s top National Super League goalscorer Beja “Lampard” Nyamawi is close to joining the club as negotiations have advanced well over a two-year deal with the club

Nyamawi spoke about the excitement of potentially “making Mbaraki his new home” after SS Assad’s last game of the season against Coastal Heroes.

"God willing if things go as planned this will be my home and what I can promise Bandari fans is that they should expect more from what they witnessed last season," said Nyamawi.

"God guided me with an injury-free season but my team, fans, and even my mother have been the main contributors to my scoring streak at Assad despite being my second season."

The striker who was also on AFC Leopards' radar is likely to be unveiled this week by Bandari.
