Kenyans love him because of his good display at middle of the park in recent matches and has earned him more fans who just come to watch him,probably fans favorite ,that was a good replacement for Victor Wanyama in the DM indeed...One thing is very clear about Odada is he always look for playing time, he will play a big role in 2026 World Cup Qualifiers,USA for Kenya and should be protected at all cost...he is just 22 years.
He has played more minutes under coach Firat with only Olunga and Eric Ouma "Marcelo" having played more.
