Doha Diamond League: Why Faith Cherotich’s Steeplechase Clash with Winfred Yavi and Peruth Chemutai Could Be One for Ages
Faith Cherotich faces off with global steeplechase elites in a high-stakes Doha Diamond League showdown this Friday evening.
Chiefs have not given up yet on Olunga considering that they face an uphill task to convince another star forward in Mayele. Pyramids are planning to extend the contract of their star striker.
"It seems there are few challenges with getting Mayele on board.
“It’s believed that Pyramids are already planning on extending his contract and then there is interest from other Egyptian teams which makes it hard for the club to meet the asking price. Apparently, as much as they still want him, they are looking at other alternatives, and Michael Olunga is on top of that list of strikers if they can't get Mayele."
Benni McCarthy could be crucial in this transfer and will likely be involved in decision making for his goal-poacher.
The South African has maintained that Olunga remains his talismanic Harambee Stars striker despite calls from some quarters wanting him to drop the barley forward.
