On November 24, 2019, Michael Olunga wrapped up his season in Japan with a record-breaking performance for Kashiwa Reysol.
He scored eight times in the final league assignment, leading his team to a 13-1 thumping over Kyoto Sanga.
With this impressive display, Olunga completed the league season as the top marksman with 27 goals, the highest number he has scored in a single season.
The Harambee Stars forward's feat comes two weeks after he also scored for Kenya in a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Egypt.
Reysol had already won the J2 League trophy and earned promotion to the top-flight, but Olunga and his teammates looked keen to sign off in style.
With his impressive performance, Olunga has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Germany's Bundesliga side Wolfsburg and English Championship side Cardiff City.
