Will he stay or will he go? Samuel Kapen caught in transfer tug-of-war amid Gor Mahia interest
Samuel Kapen has hinted at potential move amid interest from Gor Mahia but is planning to reveal decision soon about his future.
The Irishman pointed out Masika’s potential which has begun to shine through at Gor Mahia especially given his previous underutilization.
"Musa Masika, obviously this season has hardly played for KCB but we remembered what he did last season. Even by his own admission, he was nowhere near match fit when he joined us, and he knew he had to take time. Even now, he's probably reaching the stage where he can play 90 minutes, but his football intelligence is so high," McKinstry elaborated.

McKinstry also highlighted the connection between Masika and another teammate, Austin Odhiambo, which he considers crucial for the team's dynamics.
"The link between him and Austin is really nice because you probably noticed today, Austin basically does everything one touch because we knew that AFC would come and be aggressive and man mark him," he noted.
Having previously played for Wazito FC and having had a stint overseas with Buriram United's youth team in Thailand, Masika brings a wealth of experience to Gor Mahia.
