Tanzanian giants Yanga SC are reportedly close to signing Gor Mahia striker Gislein Gnamien Yikpe.
Yikpe was signed by the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) champions at the beginning of this season and it seems the towering Ivorian forward has decided to cross borders and join Yanga.
Reports indicate Yikpe is already in Tanzania ready to pen a deal with the record Vodacom Premier League (VPL) champions. The transfer window for the Tanzania Mainland league was opened on December 16 and will run until January 15.
Gor Mahia had signed the striker from SC Gagnoa in July to replace Jacques Tuyisenge, who had left for Angola to join Petro Atletico, and it seems they have lost him even before the KPL season enters its mid-season break.
