Kenyan national team forward Michael Olunga (28), who was once the top scorer in the J1 league when he was a member of Kashiwa Reysol, is currently playing for Al Duhail in Qatar’s first division. Suddenly, it’s a hot topic among Japanese SNS users that Olunga’s SNS post might suggest a transfer to Kyoto Sanga and a return to the J League.
The player updated his Twitter account on the 28th of this month. The appearance of himself in the cafe is enhanced with a checkered T-shirt based on yellow. He left a short comment in Japanese, “Kyoto coffee”, and on Twitter, “Olunga, transfer?” We have received many comments such as “I want you to come back.”

Such Olunga scored 8 goals in the last match of the J2 League against Kyoto Sanga on November 24, 2019. The fact that he led the team to a 13-1 victory has been passed on to J-League fans, and ” Kyoto lunga reminds me of that game against Sanga…'”, “Come back to score eight goals.

In December 2020, Olunga made a full transfer from Kashiwa Reysol to Al Duhail. In the 2021/22 season, he was the top scorer in the Qatar First Division with 22 goals.
Regarding Olunga’s departure, in February last year it was reported that Fenerbahçe of Süper Lig (1st Division of Turkey), Besiktas and Ligue Ann (1st Division of France) were interested in several clubs, but the transfer to Europe did not materialize. The contract between the player and Al Duhail is expected to expire in June this year.
