His closest challenger for the golden boot Andre Ayew has scored seven fewer.The Kenyan skipper has continued to blaze the trail since his breakout year in 2015 at Gor Mahia where he led the record KPL champions to unbeaten league run. From there he made his big move to European tier two league in Sweden Djurgaden IF.His goal scoring exploits would see him pen a big money move to China where he played briefly then moved to Girona in Spain’s La Liga on loan. An underwhelming stint in Spain left the lanky striker frustrated and soon moved back to China. Shortly afterwards, Olunga switched to Japan’s J League II with Kashiwa Reysol where his goals played a vital role in earning the club promotion to the top-flight. More goal scoring in Japan’s J League set Olunga for his current dwelling where he continues to break scoring records. He was the top scorer in Asia’s Champions League with nine goals despite his club getting eliminated early in the competition. Elsewhere in England, Tyler Onyango featured for Everton U23 as they registered a 2-0 win over Derby County at the Loughborough University Stadium.Onyango played for 56 minutes before he was taken off for Rhys Hughes. Republic of Ireland striker Thomas Cannon scored both goals for the Everton youngsters.
