Mohammed Bajaber, the dynamic midfielder for Kenya Police and the Harambee Stars, has shared his vision of a dream pairing that he believes could be a potent force on the field. The 25-year-old has been in stellar form, with a standout season at Nairobi City in the first leg of the FKF Premier League before transferring to the Law Enforcers. Bajaber is currently playing a crucial role in Police’s quest for the league title, with fierce competition from Tusker and Gor Mahia.
His impressive performances with both club and country have caught the attention of many, particularly during the March international break, where he had a remarkable outing with the Harambee Stars. In the 3-3 draw against Gambia, Bajaber came on as a substitute and scored an important goal. He followed that up with a start in the 2-1 victory over Gabon, a match played in front of a sold-out Nyayo Stadium. These appearances solidified his place in the national team and highlighted his potential as a key player in both domestic and international football.
At club level, Bajaber is often paired with left-back Abud Omar, creating a strong and effective partnership on the left flank. Meanwhile, in the Harambee Stars setup under coach Benni McCarthy, he has been paired with Erick ‘Marcelo’ Ouma, another player who has impressed in the national team. However, Bajaber has expressed his desire to play alongside another player he admires: former KCB full-back Erickson Mulu. Despite not yet being called up to the national team, Mulu has been a standout player for KCB, and Bajaber believes the two could form a deadly combination on the left side of the pitch.
Bajaber recently shared his thoughts on this potential pairing during an interview with Eleven TV. He described Mulu as a “very good player” and recalled playing alongside him in some training sessions. According to Bajaber, Mulu’s ability to combine effectively on the left flank would make them a formidable duo. “I think a few turf games when I was with my brother, and he said this guy is deadly. I think if we played, we would combine well at left-back and right-wing,” Bajaber said, expressing his confidence in their potential partnership.
The idea of Bajaber and Mulu linking up at the national team level is an exciting prospect for Kenyan football fans. Mulu’s skill and versatility on the left could complement Bajaber’s flair and creativity, providing an added dimension to the Harambee Stars’ attack. While Mulu has not yet earned a national team call-up, his impressive performances in the domestic league suggest that he could soon be in the mix for selection. If he does get the call, Bajaber’s dream pairing could very well become a reality.
On the club front, Kenya Police has reportedly been in talks with Mulu, but the deal has yet to materialize. If a transfer to the Police is finalized, Bajaber and Mulu could have the chance to build chemistry at the club level first, which could serve them well if they are ever paired together in a Harambee Stars lineup.
With both players on an upward trajectory in their careers, their dream pairing could be just around the corner. For Bajaber, it’s not just about forming a strong partnership with a talented player but also about realizing his vision for a dynamic and successful attacking combination that could benefit both club and country. As the Kenyan football scene continues to evolve, it will be exciting to see whether this dream pairing comes to fruition in the near future.
