Michael Olunga explains why it is difficult for Kenyan players to break into the English Premier League
Victor Wanyama is the only Kenyan to have played in the English Premier League for Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur, and Olunga has now explained why it is difficult for fellow countrymen to play there.
“We thank the fans for their support this season and we promise to do better next season and make them proud,” added the assistant captain.
It remains to be seen whether Sakari will extend his stay at the club beyond the end of the season as his contract comes to a close.
In January, the former Kariobangi Sharks was in concrete talks to join Bandari, but the deal was cut short after head coach Robert Matano intervened , which blocked his chance.
Pulse Sports understands that the player is ready for a new challenge having achieved whatever he can at the club, but his sentiments may well suggest that he could look forward to extend his deal.
