Kenyan starlet Aymen Onyango rising at Manchester City

A Kenya player could soon turn out for Manchester City in the English premier league after being signed into the team's academy earlier this month. The name Aymen Onyango might not ring a bell to many Kenyans, but they do know his father, former Kenya rugby international Lucas Onyango. Aymen is not allowed to give interviews because of his age, but our sports editor Mike Okinyi caught up with the youngster and his father in London. Here is Aymen Onyango's story as told by his father, Lucas Onyango.

[@samuelwasike2928]

[@yusufmwangichannel6692]

His jersey should written Onyango to represent Kenya

[@onesmuskiio1544]

He should only represent himself not a country. No pressure

[@Janjez254]

But it is

[@npjonkid2546]

No should be aymen

[@iangathogo9750]

He will chose what he wants to represent

[@FootballnewsPlug]

Sometimes, I feel sorry for myself 😢

All the best to the boy may God Almighty continue to bless him and protect him with his family

[@jeffroxbosire]

one day i will be also there

[@Josethekenyan]

I now support both Manchesters

[@abrahamnyamori2635]

Aymen kind of looks like Axel Witsel. The problem with Kenya & especially the government is that we don't appreciate talent. Just look at what they did to Julius Yego during the Olympics. Incredulous!!

[@ryankoech]

I wish the government could embrace sports as the next frontier to extra curriculum activities. Imagine having like 20- 30 Kenyans playing in the top 5 leagues in the world .

[@rwothomiosadam]

12 years ❤🎉

[@mourice1669]

Media should stop hyping things let that kid be lol

[@saimzmuiruri]

All the best, young man.

[@taartytv8307]

Connections mtu wangu🥳

[@peterogana8937]

I heard the commentator say.../Oniyango/ ...Correction should be there /O- ny- a- ngo/ sounds matter.
Congratulations to the father. We need such mindsets

[@johnohando2390]

All those doesn't matter as long the kid grows to be a goal scoring machine.
Lastly just remove the hopes of him playing for a country without a proper national team 🙄

[@lilianwere9628]

Just awesome. I salute you

[@LittleJunior]

C'mon City!!💙 🦈

[@benwaangetich3618]

congratulations we are happy he is representing our counttry

[@yusufjoseph6094]

Waoo praying he be abig player in Manchester

[@naomymose1866]

Kenya must open school of the same, we are tried of thriving for degrees. Many talents people are wasted in Kenya.

[@counter_narrative]

Had to be Onyango.
