Harambee Stars striker Michael Olunga has been the talk of town in recent years, over his precedent actions showing he is fit for topflight league like the English Premier League.

Olunga, 26, has been named in J1 League Team best player in the months of October, following his outstanding performance.

The legendary midfielder adds, “Olunga is class and will help any team he plays for in the league. However, he should target small clubs because the pressure is less as compared to established teams.”
