Kariobangi Sharks’ promising youngster Andreas Odhiambo has officially joined the leading and modern football agency 11MAN Soccer Management, signaling a likely move to Europe amidst growing interest from Swedish club AIK.
On Sunday, December 8, the agency confirmed Odhiambo’s acquisition with an Instagram post welcoming him to the 11MAN family. The post read: “We want to welcome the talented player Omondi Andreas to the 11M family.”
At just 16 years, 11 months, and 10 days, Odhiambo has already made headlines this season as the youngest goal-scorer in the FKF Premier League, highlighting his immense potential. His signing with 11MAN places him among elite company as he becomes the third Kenyan player to join the prominent agency. Erick ‘Marcelo’ Ouma transitioned from Atotos Sports Management to 11MAN in November last year, and Kenya U20 defender Manzur Okwaro has also been linked to a European move under the agency’s guidance.
AIK’s Scouting Trip and Transfer Links
AIK, one of Sweden’s most prominent football clubs, has shown significant interest in Andreas Odhiambo’s talent. Swedish Sporting Director Thomas Berntsen, accompanied by renowned agent Patrick Mörk, recently visited Kenya on a scouting trip. Their purpose was to monitor and assess talent at Kariobangi Sharks, and Odhiambo was one of the standout players they observed.
AIK interest in another Kariobangi Sharks Midfielder
Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Kariobangi Sharks chairman Robert Maoga confirmed that the two scouts had been invited by the club to observe their players. Reports from Sportbladet suggest that AIK has identified Odhiambo and his teammate Humphrey Aroko as two major prospects.
The Swedish outlet reported that AIK is actively pursuing both players, with suggestions that
“nothing has been signed, however, one of the players is said to be close to joining.” This statement points to the likelihood of a move in the near future.
The move to sign Odhiambo would mark a significant step for both the player and the club. It would solidify Kariobangi Sharks’ reputation as a club capable of producing top talent while providing Odhiambo with the platform to make his first European move.
Odhiambo’s Career Prospects Under 11MAN
11MAN Soccer Management is a well-established and innovative agency that boasts impressive representation of notable international football stars. Some of the key names under 11MAN’s umbrella include Yassine Bounou, Youssef En-Nesyri, and Nordin Amrabat. Additionally, the agency has orchestrated major transfers like Idrissa Gueye’s switch from Everton to PSG and Nicolas Anelka’s historic transfer from Arsenal to Real Madrid.
Odhiambo’s signing with the agency further positions him for international success. As the youngest goal-scorer in the FKF Premier League this season, Odhiambo has already proven his quality and ability to thrive under pressure. His career path now points toward Europe, and AIK appears to be a likely destination.
This potential move would represent yet another significant transfer for Kariobangi Sharks and highlight the growing European scouting interest in Kenyan talent.

Kariobangi Sharks, with a proven track record of sending players abroad, will likely continue to support this transition as AIK and other European clubs monitor Kenyan talent. Fans will eagerly await the next developments as Odhiambo’s promising journey unfolds.
