The Harambee Stars hit-man has undergone a medical examination and will rejoin the national team training camp in Nairobi.
Dennis Oliech was yesterday given permission from Kenya’s training camp to fly to Qatar for a medical check and formalise his return to Al-Arabi, where he started his professional career.
The striker, who arrived with the national team from Nigeria on Monday evening, has played for Auxerre of France in the last two seasons.
The forward, who honed his talent while turning out for Kenyan club Mathare United, turned professional in 2003 when Al-Arabi came calling.
He had made his international debut for the national team aged only 18 the previous year. He played in Qatar for two years before he signed a four-year contract with French Ligue 1 team Nantes in 2005. But in 2007 the club was relegated and Oliech was given to Auxerre, where he has been since.
The lethal striker made 56 appearances for Auxerre, scoring a measly five goals, but his stint at Al-Arabi was impressive, striking 12 times in 17 games.
Oliech has been a revelation for the Kenyan national team since he received his first call. He has scored 22 goals from 37 international appearances. In the World Cup 2010 campaign, the goal poacher has already converted five times.
