The former is dubbed to be a worthy replacement of the later.
Harambee Stars sensation Richard Odada has revealed that he would like Victor Wanyama to return to the side soon in order to try and help the team achieve their goals for the next couple of years.
Wanyama called time on his international career back in 2021, having amassed 64 caps and scored six goals, and now plys his trade for Montreal Impact in the Major League Soccer.
Odada incidentally made his debut just as Wanyama left but revealed he would like the former Celtic, Tottenham and Southampton midfielder to return to the set up so that they can help the side achieve its objectives.
“Victor was great and is still great as he is still playing football and I would also like him to return to the national team so that we can play together,” Odada said in an exclusive interview with Pulse Sports.
