KPL Transfer Window 2026: Top Signings as Gor Mahia and Leopards Strengthen

The Kenyan Premier League transfer window has opened with a flurry of activity as clubs look to position themselves for the upcoming campaign. Champions Gor Mahia have been particularly busy, reinforcing their squad depth following an intense title-winning season that tested their resources.

Gor Mahia's recruitment strategy focuses on experience in midfield and pace on the flanks. Two signings from the Tanzanian Premier League bring continental experience, while a promising young striker from the lower divisions adds depth to the attack. The club's technical team believes these additions address the vulnerabilities exposed during their cup competitions.

AFC Leopards have responded with equally ambitious moves. Their focus on defensive stability has seen them recruit a commanding centre-back from the Ugandan Premier League and a versatile full-back who can operate on both flanks. The rivalry between these two clubs continues to drive the market.

Smaller clubs are also making shrewd acquisitions. Shabana FC, fresh from their impressive third-place finish, have retained their key players and added two creative midfielders. Kenya Police and Tusker are both investing in youth development pathways rather than expensive transfers.
