The metrics that indicate how Joseph Okumu is stylistically similar to some of the world's best defenders, such as Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate and PSG's Danilo Pereirra.
The Harambee Stars’ rise in value is attributed to a new generation of young talent, many of whom are making waves internationally. Leading the squad’s valuation is Stade Reims’ Joseph Okumu, who boasts a market value of €9 million.
Qatar-based captain Michael Olunga follows closely at €8 million, while Timothy Ouma, who recently extended his contract despite interest from English Premier League clubs such as Brentford, Sheffield United, and Tottenham, is valued at €3 million. Defender Daniel Anyembe rounds out the list of standout valuations with a market worth of €1 million.
Particularly noteworthy is the defensive line, where players like Okumu, Anyembe, Collins Sichenje, and Johnstone Omurwa have attracted attention from top clubs, securing lucrative contracts and boosting Kenya’s reputation on the international football scene.
Kenya’s defenders are now among the highest-paid in Africa, solidifying the Harambee Stars’ position as a source of elite talent.
