FOOTBALL Olunga to face Al Duhail quartet as Harambee Stars takes on Qatar in exhibition match
The former Gor Mahia forward gears up to face four Al Duhail teammates in an upcoming international friendly against Qatar.
Keane also joined Sky in 2019 and continues to be a big hit with his no-nonsense punditry style. He has also regularly covered live matches for ITV during recent international tournaments.
Arsenal won the encounter at the Emirates 3-1 thanks to two late goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus to take them into fifth in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Keane was quick to praise Arsenal during his post-match sentiments, tipping the 13-time league champions the closest outfit to challenge Manchester City for the title this season.
"It is unfair to compare them to Man City but last season they were the best of the rest. I would say they are the strongest group again amongst the other teams."
"It was a big win today and will give them momentum, some players making an impact from the bench. The feel-good factor will be back but if they had dropped points against United, it would have been a huge setback. They have a spring in their step now."
