Tunisian Giant Club Africain Shows Interest in Kenyan Defender Alphonce Omija

Tunisian football powerhouse Club Africain is reportedly pursuing a high-profile transfer target in Kenyan international defender Alphonce Omija. The 22-year-old center-back currently plays for Gor Mahia, Kenya’s top club, and has attracted attention from several African and international suitors following his solid performances.

Omija, who was born in Nairobi and has been with Gor Mahia since 2024, has made a name for himself as a reliable and commanding defender. His recent displays in domestic competitions and with the Harambee Stars have raised his profile, prompting interest from abroad. Club Africain, one of Tunisia’s most historic and celebrated football clubs, is looking at Omija as a potential replacement in their defensive lineup.

The interest from Club Africain was confirmed in August 2025, with the Tunisian side seeking to bolster their squad ahead of upcoming league and continental challenges. Gor Mahia’s Alphonce Omija has responded positively to the rumors, acknowledging the attention while emphasizing his focus remains on contributing to his current club and national team.

This potential move would represent a significant step in Omija’s career, offering exposure to one of North Africa’s most competitive leagues and a chance to further develop his skills on a bigger stage. It also highlights the growing reputation of Kenyan footballers in African club football markets.

Should the transfer materialize, Omija would join other notable African talents who have used the Tunisian league as a stepping stone to greater opportunities in Europe and beyond. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as negotiations continue and the transfer window progresses.
