The 19-year old will fly to Sweden and link up with his new teammates when he finishes writing his High School exams.
There is a separate agreement to make the deal permanent depending on how he adopts at his new workstation and how he performs in Europe, Nairobi News understands.
“Benson Ochieng is described as a super talent in the homeland of Kenya,” the club announced on its social media pages, complete with a photo of the boy signing the contract documents while donning school uniform.
“Now the 19-year-old is ready for Linköping City. (He is) one of the biggest recruits we have made (and) a player who is going to dominate big in this series. He is fast and smart and finds the goal.”
Since joining Gor Mahia, the former Western Stima striker has not enjoyed regular playtime with the giants. The arrival of Jules Ulimwengu and Tito Okello, with whom they were signed in the same transfer window, saw him relegated to the bench most of the time.
There was also stiff competition from Nicholas Kipkirui who has left the club for the Nakuru-based Premier League side Ulinzi Stars.
Recently, the goalscoring responsibility has been handed to either Wilson Silva, the newly signed centre-forward for the Green Army or Ulimwengu with Okello enjoying more minutes as a substitute.
Although minutes have been limited at club level, Omala has always been called to the national side. He was also summoned for the friendlies against South Sudan and Tanzania but school duties rule him out entirely.
