Extension Gunners are doing things differently this time around as far as recruiting new players is concerned.

The club’s spokesperson, Isaac Mmualefe, has said although the transfer window is open, they have not started signing new players.

Although Mmualefe said they have not received any communication at the time of going to press, reports are that the Botswana Football Association (BFA) national executive committee (NEC) last week approved the deal. The NEC met to discuss and assess among other things, the Gunners/Young Stars’ as well as the Mochudi Centre Chiefs/Masitaoka deals. “We are still waiting for feedback from the BFA.
