Olunga’s agent Patrick Dark has confirmed that the Kenyan international has indeed signed for Chinese club Guishou Zhicheng.

Michael Olunga has played for IF Djurgarden for only one year but the impact he has made at the Swedish club has drawn the attention of top flight European clubs.

The 22 year-old managed to score 12 goals for his club last season and his impressive form has now attracted interest from European and Asia clubs.
