Harambee Stars centre back Joseph Okumu has laughed off a transfer rumours suggesting he was on the verge of joining Tanzanian giants Simba SC. The club has also been reported to be pursuing Stars and Gor Mahia centre half Joash Onyango and midfielder Kenneth Muguna. Okumu 23, in a telephone interview, said the links to Simba were non-existent and cast a doubt over Simba's ability to buy out his lengthy contract with Elfsborg. "Realistically, there is no chance they can buy a two-year contract so there is no way such a transfer can happen. Maybe they are planning to break the bank but as far as I am concerned, they haven't tabled a bid or launched negotiations," he said.
