Tyson Otieno admitted he would enjoy the chance to play alongside Austin Odhiambo, though it is not something he desperately longs for.

He emphasised that what matters most is seeing both their careers flourish, adding that if the opportunity presented itself, he would gladly take it.

“I would love to…I love my brother, that’s all I can say. I always wish him all the best, but whatever God wants, may it happen for us,” Tyson Otieno said on the Tiki Taka Show.

“If it pleases God that we play together, that is okay with me. If he becomes my opponent, that’s also okay. As long as he is thriving in his career, that’s the most important thing.”

Amid the widespread allegations of Austin Odhiambo’s indiscipline, Tyson Otieno has chosen to stand by his brother, noting that he is one of the humblest stars.

Otieno added that Austin Odhiambo does not let success get into his head, revealing that the Harambee Stars attacking midfielder always mingles with everybody.

“He has not put his interests above society’s despite his experience. He even finds himself arguing with the little boys in the neighbourhood. The boys learn a lot from him, and it makes them realise that fulfilling their dreams is possible,” Tyson Odhiambo said.

“I love my brother and I wish him all the best, but I believe that God’s timing is the best. The most important thing is to make sure his career keeps progressing.”

As the new Football Kenya Federation Kenya Premier League season beckons, Tyson Otieno’s prayer is to continue seeing his brother excel as he also continues extending his legacy.
