Ayub Timbe: Kenya s forward in Japan to seal Vissel Kobe transfer goal.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from goal.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Goal on Friday. It is a done deal.
At Vissel Kobe, a club that has won various honours including being in the top-tier for 16, 11 seasons in the second tier, two seasons in the third and eight seasons in the Regional Leagues, the Kenyan will rub shoulders with known stars including former Arsenal and Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen.
Timbe would be the second high-profile Harambee Star to join a Japanese club after Michael Olunga.
Olunga joined Kashiwa Reysol, helped them win promotion back to the J1 League where he finished as the top scorer 2020 and also won the Most Valuable Player of the competition; the first African to do so in the Japanese top-tier.
Honestly, we have a percentage of December salaries yet to be cleared, as well as January salary and of course allowances. But I am sure they will be paid soon, the management is working around the clock to ensure they settle the players dues soon.
A senior player from the club who spoke with a demand of anonymity told
Goal how the situation has been. There have been unkept promises day in, day out from management which demoralizes us. We give our best to ensure the club is at the top, but it hurts when we are not getting what is rightfully ours.
