Ayunga, Vyner shine as UK-based Stars enjoy wins
Harambee Stars forwards Jonah Ayunga and Zak Vyner both ended the weekend on a high after recording victories with their respective clubs in England, continuing a positive run for Kenyan players abroad. The UK-based duo featured prominently as their teams picked up important league wins.
Ayunga was involved as his side secured a hard-fought victory, with the striker contributing through his pressing and link-up play during the attacking phases. Vyner, meanwhile, delivered a solid defensive performance as his team kept control for most of the match to seal maximum points.
“It’s always good to help the team win, whether through goals or work rate,” Ayunga was quoted as saying by club media. Vyner echoed similar sentiments, noting, “Consistency is key, and these results build confidence.” A Kenyan football analyst praised both players, saying, “Their regular minutes in competitive leagues are a big boost for the national team.”
The strong outings come at a crucial time for Harambee Stars, with head coach Engin Firat keeping close tabs on overseas-based players ahead of upcoming international assignments.
