Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - Federation of Kenyan football chairman Sam Nyamweya has hailed Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama’s proposed move to Premier League giants Manchester United.
Nyamweya reckons Kenya can be a football powerhouse if it can produce players of Wanyama’s caliber.
“Wanyama will soon be joining one of the big two clubs in the world,” he said.
“It is an exciting moment for us, which means that Kenya is a powerhouse in football.” Nyamweya is quoted as saying.
“I’ve watched Wanyama on several occasions this season and he’s been hugely impressive, especially during Celtic’s historic win over Barcelona when the player was immense. He reminded me of Michael Essien in his prime.
“At just 21, he’s also got plenty of time to develop further so if United do manage to sign him, I think it will be a superb piece of business. “ He added.
Wanyama is among the foreign based players who have been called up for Kenya’s friendly match against Libya slated for 6th February.
