Obiero has now been training with the Rising Stars setup for close to two weeks since jetting in from England ahead of the U-20 AFCON.
As Kenya's U-20 national team fine-tunes preparations for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, midfielder Kevin Wangaya has offered insights into how newly-invited foreign-based players, including former Tottenham Hotspur youth product Zech Obiero are integrating into the squad.
The Rising Stars, who are currently camping at the MPESA Foundation Academy in Thika, are set to travel to Egypt later this month for the continental showdown.
Several overseas-based talents have joined the local contingent in camp, among them former Wigan midfielder Ruben Grewal, Jeremy Bissau, and Dutch-based goalkeeper Caleb Obida Kramer.

Mohammed Bajaber given Harambee Stars warning after dream debut under Benni McCarthy
Mohammed Bajaber has become a cult hero after his starring role for Harambee Stars in March and he has been told what he must do to remain in the plans of coach Benni McCarthy.
Obiero, who linked up with the squad last week, is pushing to make the final 21-man roster and appears to be settling in well—according to Wangaya.
“Everyone knows why he is here. They have come in well and they are pushing themselves,” said Wangaya on Monday.
“We are creating a good environment of love and togetherness and they have adapted well to it.”
Specifically addressing Obiero’s progress, the midfielder acknowledged that while there were initial challenges, the team has been working closely with him to build chemistry.

“While we are creating a friendship with him, we are explaining to him what he needs to do, what he needs to improve on, where he needs to cover and how he needs to play with the team.
“He is better considering that we did not have a good understanding over the first few days, but he is now catching up well.”
With anticipation building ahead of the U-20 AFCON, Wangaya stressed the team’s collective ambition: not just to compete, but to leave a mark.
