Okumu: Kenya defender reveals desire to captain Harambee Stars

Kenya defender Joseph Okumu has revealed he would love to captain the national team sometime in the future.

The 23-year-old centre back has been one of the fast-rising stars in the country and his exceptional display in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) held in Egypt sealed his place in the first 11.

The youngster played in all three matches in Group C; the 2-0 loss to Algeria before helping the team to a 3-2 win against neighbours Tanzania before eventually losing 3-0 to Senegal.
