Harambee Stars midfielder 90 minutes from securing Europa League group stage spot for Swedish club
The Harambee Stars midfielder shone as he helped IF Elfsborg get one step closer to sealing Europa League group stage qualification with a crucial away win over Molde.
Wilson himself shared his excitement about the move, saying, "I’ve waited a long time to get this opportunity. I am very happy to be part of the AIK family, and I look forward to fulfilling my dream of becoming Swedish champion with the club."
The young midfielder first made headlines during the international break in September 2023 when, at just 17, he earned a call-up to the Kenya squad by Turkish coach Engin Firat.
Although he remained on the bench during Kenya's 1-0 defeat to South Sudan at Moi International Sports Centre in Kasarani, his inclusion in the squad highlighted his rising profile.
The former Darajani Gogo man went on to play a significant role in helping Junior Stars get to the final of the CECAFA U-18 championships held in Kisumu and Kakamega last December before earning a trial with the Swedish outfit.
