Mohammed Bajaber has become one of the most sought-after young talents in Kenyan football, with several foreign clubs keen on securing his signature. The midfielder has been in fine form for both his club and the national team, attracting interest from teams abroad.
His impressive performances for Harambee Stars in the recent 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Gambia and Gabon have put him on the radar of international scouts. Bajaber made a significant impact, particularly in the 3-3 draw against Gabon, where he capped off his appearance with a well-taken goal. This has further fueled speculation about a potential move overseas.
Despite the growing interest, Bajaber remains committed to his current club, Kenya Police FC. Having joined the team only two months ago from Nairobi City Stars, he is focused on helping Police challenge for their first-ever FKF Premier League title. While clubs such as Yanga and Azam have reportedly made contact, no concrete offers have materialized yet. Sources close to the player suggest that a decision regarding his future is unlikely to be made before the summer transfer window.
For now, the young midfielder is determined to contribute to his club’s success. He has shown maturity in handling the attention surrounding him, choosing to remain focused on his current responsibilities rather than getting distracted by transfer speculation.
Bajaber’s rise in Kenyan football has been nothing short of remarkable. Born and raised in Kenya, he developed his skills at Starfield Academy before getting his first major breakthrough in 2021 when he attended trials at Danish top-tier side FC Midtjylland. This experience was pivotal in his development, helping him gain the confidence and exposure needed to compete at a higher level.
His move to Nairobi City Stars marked a turning point in his career. He made his FKF Premier League debut on May 15, 2022, against Tusker and earned his first start on June 6, 2022, against AFC Leopards. His first league goal came against Wazito on March 16, 2023. The midfielder continued to impress during the 2023-24 season, scoring six goals for City Stars. His form carried over into the first leg of the 2024-25 campaign, where he netted four goals, ultimately earning him a move to Kenya Police FC in February 2025.
His rapid rise has made him one of the most promising young midfielders in Kenya. His ability to control the midfield, create chances, and score crucial goals has made him an asset for both club and country. His call-up to the national team was a testament to his hard work and dedication, as he managed to secure a spot in the 23-man squad for the latest international assignments.
As speculation continues to swirl around his future, Bajaber remains grounded. His current focus is on achieving success with Kenya Police FC and helping the team push for the FKF Premier League title. However, with interest from foreign clubs growing, it is only a matter of time before he makes a move to a higher level of competition.
Whether he stays in Kenya for another season or makes the leap to an international club, his trajectory suggests that he is destined for greater achievements. His journey so far has shown resilience, hard work, and a keen eye for goal, making him one of the brightest prospects in Kenyan football.
