Timothy Ouma on why his focus remains unshaken amid Premier League interest
Ouma, who is back with the Kenya national team Harambee Stars ahead of their double header against Cameroon, has explained why he cannot afford to be complacent following interest from major European clubs.
"I think at the moment the one thing that would worry more than anything is off the top my head, who's come into club that they've bought and you've gone, 'he was an amazing success'."
"I mean Anthony was 80 odd million pounds. That just sums it all up. I'm looking at the players they've bought, they bought the boy Hojlund. I like Hojlund but he is a young kid. You can't put a young kid Man United upfront and ask him to get 20 goals a season," he added

Erik Ten Hag's fate takes a new turn after holding critical meeting meeting with minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe
Erik Ten Hag will remain in limbo as he takes a break following a six hour-long meeting with Manchester United officials.
Merson has backed former Manchester United legends Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand to remedy the Red Devil's transfer woes.
"I just don't know what they've done. I would have put someone like Garry Neville in charge of the recruitment. Garry has been at that club all his career. He knows football inside and out. You put someone like him in charge or Rio Ferdinand or even together," said Merson.
The former Manchester United duo have similarly been critical of Ten Hag's lack of plan, leaving doubt on whether they'd take up the job if it was on offfer.
