Carabao Cup final does not make Samatta's star shine more than Wanyama's - Xavier

Former AFC Leopards midfielder Francis Xavier has claimed Victor Wanyama is East Africa's biggest football export despite the emergence of Mbwana Samatta.

Xavier said Samatta needs more time to prove his worth in the English Premier League, unlike Wanyama who has been in England for a longer period of time.

“In terms of achievement, Wanyama has done better than Samatta for now. Samatta has just landed in [England] and yes he has got one goal but it is too early to have shown the world he is so special,” Xavier told Goal.
