Galatasaray. Fenerbahce. Corinthians. Utrecht. And now Everton.Harambee Stars captain Michael Olunga is certainly a man on demand after fresh reports indicated that the former Gor Mahia forward is on the radar of English Premier League side Everton FC.According to the English publication the ECHO, Olunga’s name has popped up at Everton’s base ahead of the main transfer window set to open on Friday 09 June 2023.##NAJAVA_MECA_7306522##”Superstar captain of the Kenyan national team with 22 goals in 49 internationals, on face value, Olunga seems like something of a potential left field option for the Blues to solve their scoring woes but the ECHO understands his name has been discussed by those inside Finch Farm,” the ECHO wrote.In the just-completed season, Everton narrowly survived relegation and scored only 34 goals in 38 league matches thanks to Dominic Calvert Lewin’s injury and Neal Maupay’s terrible form.With Sean Dyche known to prefer lanky forwards, the left-footed Olunga with a strong command in the air could perhaps fit into the manager’s style.Olunga emerged as the top scorer in the Qatari Stars League last season, scoring 22 goals in as many league matches, netting a total of 33 goals in 29 games across all competitions, as his team went on to bag the league title.Could Harambee Stars skipper be heading to Netherlands?He started his career at Tusker FC in 2023 before moving to the now-defunct Thika United a year later. His breakthrough came when he signed for Gor Mahia for the 2015 season when he became one of the most sought-after players in the East African region.The following year, he joined Djurgardens in the Swedish top-tier league. He lasted at the club for a season before moving to China, signing for Guizhou Zhicheng, which later loaned him out to Girona in the Spanish Laliga. Between 2018 and 2021, he played for Kashiwa Reysol in Japan and crossed over to Qatar in 2021, signing a two-year deal.
