The Kenya captain has been linked with a move to Everton, but may not meet the requirements needed to play in the Premier League.
Should he join Olympiacos he will link up with experienced players such as former Arsenal defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Mathieu Valbuena, James Rodriguez, Yann M'Vila, and former Liverpool midfielder Sergi Canós.
Olympiacos had a poor campaign by their lofty standards, finishing third meaning that they will miss a place in the Champions League next season and will have to enter the Europa Conference League qualifiers.
