Olunga sets date with Messi

• Olunga looks forward to playing league fixtures againstLionel Messi and Ronaldo
• He becomes the second Kenyan to play in the Spanish La Liga
• Prior to sealing a move to Spain, Olunga turned out for Chinese outfit Guizhou Zhicheng

For a man who had been written off by critics shortly after his jaw-dropping ,big-money move to the super rich Chinese Premier League, Kenyan striker Michael ‘Engineer’ Olunga is exhibiting an incredible spirit to reinvent himself in the beautiful game of football after sealing a season-long loan switch to Spanish La Liga outfit Girona FC.

‘Micah,’ as he is fondly known by his peers, announced his arrival in sunny Spain in impeccable fashion, turning on the style to claim a brace in his first match for Girona and in his first game in Spanish soil, as Girona routed lower tier side CF Ripoll 8-0 in a September 4 friendly match.
