Latest transfer updates indicate that Kenyan midfielder Timothy Ouma is nearing a move to Slavia Prague, pending medicals and final negotiations.
Harambee Stars midfielder Timothy Ouma is set to undergo medicals with Czech giants Slavia Prague as negotiations with IF Elfsborg approach the final stages.
The 20-year-old Kenyan international is expected to finalize the transfer, marking a significant milestone in his career.
Ouma, who joined Elfsborg from Nairobi City Stars in the summer of 2022, made a name for himself with standout performances in Allsvenskan last season.
Former Manchester United first-team coach Benni McCarthy has been reported as a hot favourite for the Harambee Stars job but he will have to endure a massive pay cut.
Elfsborg’s club manager Stefan Andreasson has confirmed Ouma’s permission to visit another club but refrained from naming the destination.
“He has received our permission to visit another club,” Andreasson told Borås Tidning, hinting at progress in the discussions.
The Czech outlet Infotbal reports that Ouma is scheduled to travel to Prague on Monday to complete his medical evaluation.

The goalkeeping legend has given reasons why he is worried that Kenya may take long before finding another top player between the posts.
The deal reportedly revived after Elfsborg lowered their initial demands, with both clubs now said to be finalizing the remaining details.
Sources indicate that the transfer fee could reach approximately €3.5 million (Ksh 465 million), a figure that would eclipse Elfsborg’s previous record sale of goalkeeper Hakon Valdimarsson to Brentford for just over €3 million (Ksh 400 million).
Ouma’s remarkable form for Elfsborg has been instrumental in boosting his value.
