Published on August 25, 2019, Gor Mahia defender Joash Odhiambo has made his ambitions clear: he wants to play like Manchester United's Harry Maguire.
The 26-year-old defender has been in the spotlight after being feted as Kenya's most valuable player in an event attended by the Principal Secretary in the Sports ministry.
Joash Odhiambo's remarks have sparked a mix of reactions from Kenyans, with some questioning his ambition, given his age and current performance with Gor Mahia and the national team Harambee Stars.
When asked about his aspirations, Odhiambo stated, "I admire Harry Maguire's skill and the way he coordinates his team's defense. I want to be like him… when I grow up."
While some have laughed off his sentiments, others have criticized Odhiambo for not focusing on his current club and national team, instead eyeing better opportunities in the future.
