Fresh foreign signings hand KL City lifeline after nightmare start to season
KUALA LUMPUR: After enduring one of the darkest weeks in their recent history, KL City are finally picking up the pieces and launching an aggressive squad rebuild before the first transfer window closes on Sept 3.
KUALA LUMPUR: KL City have completed the registrations of two new foreign signings, Ghanaian defender Joseph Adjei and Nigerian forward Yusuf Tunji Omotosho, in an attempt to rebuild their struggling squad ahead of the first transfer window closing on September 3. Adjei, 31, has international experience from various overseas leagues, while Omotosho, 23, offers pace and firepower to the attack.
The signings come after the club was released from a FIFA player-registration ban, enabling them to take part in the first transfer window. KL City's season started poorly, with a cancelled opening game and a heavy defeat against Kuching City, resulting in a RM50,000 fine. Club president Syed Yazid Syed Omar acknowledged the club's poor start and their commitment to clearing RM1.1 million in arrears to lift the FIFA embargo.
The new signings will provide depth, balance, and quality to the team, with coach Datuk Dollah Salleh expressing optimism for the club's future.
