Market Value: €6.00 Million

At 31, Michael Olunga remains the financial and talismanic benchmark for Kenyan football. After a historic run with Al-Duhail, where he claimed multiple Golden Boots, his transition to Al-Arabi has been seamless.

The Harambee Stars striker’s valuation remains high due to his unparalleled efficiency in the box. In the 2025/2026 season, he has maintained a goal-per-game ratio that rivals the best on the continent. For Harambee Stars, Michael Olunga is more than a striker, as he is also the captain.

Market Value: €5.00 Million

Joseph Okumu’s rise in Europe has been meteoric. Since his €12M move to Reims in 2023, he has established himself as one of the most composed centre-backs in French football.

While a recent knee injury in early 2026 caused a slight plateau in his market value, his underlying stats keep him on the radar of Premier League and Bundesliga scouts.

Market Value: €2.8 Million

The 2026 winter transfer window saw a significant move for Zak Vyner, who recently joined the ambitious Wrexham project on a permanent deal from Bristol City. His valuation is buoyed by his extensive experience in the English Championship.

Market Value: €2.0 Million

Daniel Anyembe is currently the subject of intense transfer speculation, with Portuguese giants Sporting CP reportedly placing a €5 million inquiry despite his €2M valuation.

His versatility is his greatest asset as he is equally comfortable as a traditional right-back or a modern ball-playing centre-back.

Market Value: €1.4 Million

Timothy Ouma, currently on loan at Lech Poznań from Slavia Prague, is the heir apparent to the Kenyan midfield throne.

The 21-year-old’s market value has seen a 40% increase in the last six months alone. Scouts highlight his press-resistance and vision, qualities that suggest he will be the next Kenyan to break the €10M barrier.

Market Value: €1.0 Million

Erick Ouma remains the gold standard for Kenyan wing-backs. Playing in Poland's Ekstraklasa and featuring in the UEFA Conference League, Erick Ouma has proven that his recovery pace and crossing ability are elite.

At 29, his value is stable, reflecting a player in his absolute prime who provides the essential width in coach Engin Fırat's tactical system.

Market Value: €450,000

Collins Sichenje recently completed a high-profile move from FK Vojvodina to Charlton Athletic for a reported €1.9 million (Ksh 288 million). On February 21, 2026, he made an amazing debut in the Championship, playing 89 minutes in a 1-1 draw against Southampton.

While his "market value" on paper sits at €450k, his recent multi-million euro transfer fee suggests his actual value is skyrocketing. Having moved through the ranks of AIK and Vojvodina in Serbia and now starring for Charlton Athletic, the 22-year-old's value is expected to rise as he matures.

He is a defensive hybrid, often deployed as a "destroyer" in front of the back four or as a mobile center-back. His physicality makes him an intimidating prospect for any striker in the African qualifiers.

In the Scottish Premiership, Jonah Ayunga has carved out a reputation as a "handful" for defenders. Jonah Ayunga has constantly been seen as the vital bridge for the Harambee Stars' offensive transition.

Market Value: €450,000

Johnstone Omurwa’s move to the Saudi/Gulf region has been lucrative and career-stabilising. He is a defender known for his last-ditch tackles and aerial dominance.

His partnership with Joseph Okumu has often been described as one of the best, providing a level of defensive security the national team hasn't seen in decades.
