It is not often you see a player leave Gor for a team in the Kenyan Premier League. But that’s what Nyakeya did as a youth, and moved to Mathare United. Now, the ‘Slum Boys’ Mathare United as they’re popularly known had a good season last season. And it was mainly down to the great work being put in by Cliff where he scored 13 goals.

That prompted a move to Egyptian side FC Masr where he continues to impress.

#7 Boniface Muchiri

Another top talent to have come out of Kenya is Boniface Muchiri who also had an impressive 2018. He scored a whopping 11 goals from midfield for his team Tusker FC.

He moved to one of Kenya’s top sides Tusker after impressive spells at Sony Sugar and Nzoia Sugar. He has had two trials since that impressive season and it is safe to say he won’t be in the Kenyan Premier League for much longer.
