Sport Bladet now reports that the midfielder is close to moving to Slavia Prague in what would be a historic sale for Elfsborg. Ouma was conspicuously missing from Elfsborg's training camp in La Finca Resort just outside Torrevieja in Spain.

The club's CEO has confirmed that the 20-year-old has been talking to other clubs, and a deal would be agreed on soon.

"We would have liked to have Timothy with him in Spain, but discussions are ongoing with other clubs. We are also discussing with Timothy and his representatives how we should proceed. I cannot comment on anything further."

Ouma is said to have rejected multiple deals, including one in Saudi Arabia, to seal the move to the Czech Republic.

Ouma is an attacking midfielder who played for Nairobi City Stars in the Premier League before moving to Elfsborg in Sweden in 2022.

He represented Kenya at the U-20 level before being roped into the national team in 2021. He has nine caps to his name so far.

He has made 42 appearances for the Swedish side, scoring thrice and assisting twice. Elfsborg are hoping to make the Europa League playoffs when the competition resumes next week.

They are currently in the last qualification spot with only seven points. They play Nice at home before travelling to North London to face Tottenham.

If he moves to the Czech Republic, Ouma will join a team that is seven points clear at the top of Chance Liga. Slavia are also involved in the Europa League but find themselves in a tight spot. They are 29th with four points, three off Elfsborg in the last playoff spot.

The Kenyan international scored once and assisted once to help his side reach the fourth round of the competition for the first time in 44 years.

Harper's goal saw the Grecians win 3-1 and will now play Nottingham Forest in the next round. Harper is yet to play for Harambee Stars but he was called up in October 2023.
