Uganda cranes and Gor Mahia midfielder, Khalid Aucho in action during a match in Kenya Premier League

Ugandan international Khalid Aucho’s move to Scottish side Aberdeen has collapsed after a transfer fee snag between the clubs according to reports.

Aucho had been on trials at Aberdeen for a fortnight where he impressed manager Derek John McInnes.

According to super sport.com, McInnes was reportedly ready to offer the Ugandan a two-year contract but the deal is off now with claims that Gor Mahia was asking far too much for the transfer to take place.

“I feel so sad my dream of joining Aberdeen has been shattered. I did all I could do on the pitch to impress, but I was told my club Gor Mahia has asked for too much which was impossible for the club to pay,” Aucho told supersport.com.

However, contradicting reports from a senior Gor Mahia official denied the club having received any offers.

“Gor Mahia cannot be blamed on the Khalid Aucho fiasco; we saw it coming as some agents wanted to make a killing out of the deal making it flop. Gor Mahia got no offers and it’s not in our policy to refuse players seeking greener pastures,” the official said.

The 22-year-old Ugandan international is one of the star players in Kenyan football with his playing style earning him comparisons to Totenham star Victor Wanyama.

Top South African clubs Blomfontein Celtic, Moroka Swallows and Bidvest Wits have reportedly shown interest in signing the player.
