Harambee Stars defender Joseph Okumu has revealed the reason he opted to sign for Swedish Allsvenskan side IF Elfsborg.
The towering defender was unveiled on Wednesday just a day after Goal reported he was in Sweden to seal a transfer move from Real Monarchs in the USA.
“A number of teams in Europe had shown keen interest for my services but the moment I met with Elfsborg officials, I was convinced it was the best place for me to improve my career,” Okumu told the club’s official website.
