After seeing their FKF Premier League hopes vanquish with four matches to go this season, 13-time winners Tusker FC are already restructuring for the new season as they look to get back to winning ways.

The brewers have had two trophyless seasons and are under pressure to make better performances in the 2025-26 season.

Speaking exclusively to Telecomasia.net, coach Charles Okere says they are prioritizing their forward line as they plan on building up the team for the new season.

When Ryan (Ogam) was ruled out with injury, we really struggled to score goals this past season. It showed us that this is an area we really need to invest in. We have already started talks with some of the targets we have identified and we want to bring in players who can give us at least 10 and above goals each season. If we were sharp offensively, I believe we would have been fighting for the league title till the last day and probably won. The forward line has been our biggest letdown especially in the second leg.

Tusker struggled for goals in the second half of the season when their top scorer Ryan Ogam was out injured and are now seeking to have more options. Already, Youth Team striker David Polepole who was handed gametime in a few fixtures has been promoted and will be part of the first team.

The club has also been exploring striking options including Moses Shummah from Kakamega Homeboyz and Emmanuel Osoro from FC Talanta, but the two have slipped from their fingers, preferring protracted moves to Zambia.
