“Onyango’s versatility and exposure to top-level football make him an exciting addition,” the source notes.
Other players under scrutiny include Zech Obiero (Leyton Orient / Tranmere Rovers), forward Sammy Henia-Kamau (Hull City U21), winger Silko Thomas Otieno (Leicester City), midfielder Eliot Matazo (Hull City / Monaco), and attacking midfielder Clarke Oduor (Grimsby Town).
The source emphasised that the evaluation is not just about talent. “We are looking at their tactical understanding, discipline, and ability to integrate with the team’s style. We need a squad that functions as a cohesive unit.”
Administrative hurdles are also being addressed. The FKF source says the delegation is working to resolve passport and eligibility issues that have slowed down dual-national recruitment in the past.
“We are taking no chances this time. Every player invited must be ready to commit without bureaucratic delays,” the source explains.
The team is also maintaining close contact with players already in England, including Collins Sichenje, who recently joined Charlton Athletic.
