“For me, I might describe myself as more of a box-to-box player.”
“I’m creative, able to eliminate players and full of energy – and not scared to go into duels. That’s me,” he added.
The former Atletico Lusaka player is eager to get down to work and prove himself to head coach David Gray.
“I’m really, really excited to play and to be with the squad. I can’t wait for it. And if the coach gives me a chance, I have to prove it.”
