Tusker FC’s combative midfielder Apollo Otieno has revealed that Henry Meja and Eugene Asike’s moves to Sweden from the club have inspired him to put in more effort with the belief that he could be the next to make the switch.20-year-old Meja joined Swedish top-tier side AIK, with the title-winning captain Asike joining third-tier side IF Karlstad in April where he has had an impressive start, with the club’s honchos already contemplating a contract extension for him.Eugene Asike unveiled in Sweden by new side IF KarlstadOtieno, who has been with the Brewers for almost five years since joining the Ruaraka-based side in November 2017, says that it has always been his desire to seal a move abroad and he will continue working hard as he believes he could be the next one on the list.”It motivates me to see that Meja (Henry) left, and Eugene (Asike) also left. It means that there is something going on at the club, and God will open doors for another player and I believe I am next. It is also about working harder, I will continue putting in more effort and see if I can get the chance because it is something I desire so much,” he said in an interview with the club’s media.😆| Get your ribs ready.
