STARS ABROAD Olunga misses out on Player of the Season award in consecutive seasons
The former Tusker forward was tipped to be the hot favorite for the award.
Olunga’s contract with his current club, Al Duhail SC, is expected to end in the summer of 2023, and this has prompted a number of reports linking him with various clubs.
Olunga played a pivotal role as Al Duhail emerged as the Qatar Stars League champions just recently. The Kenyan scored 22 goals, which also saw him retain the Golden Boot award.
Perhaps with that kind of achievement, it is not strange that he has been linked with bigger clubs. Scotland’s Rangers have also been reported to be interested in the former Gor Mahia striker.

FOOTBALL Firat: Why Kenya should develop close ties with Qatar
The tactician made a visit to the Middle East nation, where he also met Michael Olunga.
Although his contract might be coming to an end, Al Duhail are expected to fight tooth and nail to keep the towering Harambee Star.
Olunga’s league title is his first with the Qatari side, a club he joined in 2021 after he had made his name in Japan with Kashiwa Reysol.
He was a key player as Kashiwa Reysol fought to earn promotion to the J1 League. Then, he scored 27 goals as Reysol returned to the top-tier.
His time in the Japanese top league was equally impressive, as he also won the Golden Boot award after edging off his then close rival, Kashima Antlers’ Evaraldo.
In his last season in Japan, he was also voted the Most Valuable Player, becoming the first African player to win such an award in the Far East nation.

STARS ABROAD Double delight for Olunga as he defends Golden Boot crown, helps Al Duhail win league title
The Kenyan striker scored four goals as Al Duhail dismantled Al Shamal at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha.
In November 2021, he won the AFC Champions League’s Golden Boot after scoring nine goals despite the fact that his side was eliminated from the group stage.
Just like he was linked with bigger clubs when he was about to leave Reysol, Olunga is expected to attract suitors in the upcoming transfer window given what he achieved this term with Al Duhail.
