After acquiring the services of three Uganda players, LA LIGA hypermotion side, CD Leganes president Jeff Luhnow has revealed that the club is seeking to put more focus on getting football talents from Africa, which could open up a route for Kenyan players to grace the Spanish leagues.

The club has entered into an agreement with Rainbow Sports to realize this dream of getting the best talents from Kenya and Africa as a whole.

Rainbow Sports owns the National Super League side, Rainbow FC that play’s in Kenya’s second tier.

The partnerships between Leganes and teams from the continent could provide an avenue that will see more players from Kenya and Africa as a whole move to the club and other teams in the Spanish football structure.

At the moment, no Kenyan player is playing in the Spanish top tier. The only Kenyan in Spain’s football pyramid is Harambee Stars midfielder Ismail Gonzalez, who plays for Águilas FC in the fourth tier.

In a video call from Spain interview during a press conference organized by Laliga Kenya’s delegate in Nairobi, Luhnow said Africa is now the focus for the next generation of talents. He said his club will integrate more talented African players into their systems.
