The 24-year-old who is the younger brother of Mubarak Wakaso is being monitored by a host of top European clubs following a monstrous season with the Green and Whites last season.
With his star finally rising the tough tackling midfielder is expected to be given a run in when the Stars face almighty Egypt in a crack World Cup qualifier in Alexandria.
