Seven Kenyan players who could secure big-money moves abroad
Pulse Sports highlights the Kenyan players who could be moving to clubs abroad on big-money transfers after an impressive 2023-24 campaign.
Odada will be joining Dundee United following his departure from Philadelphia Union in a transition made after a loan spell at Danish second-tier side AaB Fodbold.
Despite helping Aalborg secure promotion, his playing time was limited leading the Danish club to decide against triggering the purchase option on his loan deal.
According to Record Sport, the former AFC Leopards youngster will be the second player unveiled by Dundee United this summer, following the acquisition of Jort van der Sande from ADO Den Haag.
