FORMER international striker, Festus Mbewe and midfielder Francis Simwanza have ditched record 12-time league champions, Nkana for 2005 winners, Red Arrows.
Joining Mbewe and Simwanza at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka is Roan United skipper, Arthur Kaseloki.
Since the 2014 MTN Premier Division League went on recess, clubs have been busy on the transfer market with Arrows, who survived relegation, trying to boost the squad for this year’s campaign.
According to impeccable sources yesterday, Arrows coach Albert Kachinga secured the signatures for Mbewe, Simwanza and Kaseloki last month.
But Nkana spokesperson, Cephas Sinyangwe could not confirm or deny Mbewe and Simwanza’s departure but said a couple of players had left Nkana Stadium in Kitwe.
Since the close of the season, Nkana, the 2013 league champions, have lost several players to other clubs.
Chipolopolo defender, Christopher Munthali trekked back to his parent club Power Dynamos, Derrick Mwansa also returned to Nkwazi enroute to Power just like Kelvin Mubanga is headed to Arthur Davies Stadium.
Claude Bwalya, Masautso Phiri and Masautso Zimba have also left Nkana Stadium.
Nkana talisman Ronald ‘Sate Sate’ Kampamba, who has attracted interest from South African and Egyptian clubs, may also leave after the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

Zambia striker Jacob Mulenga has made a shock exit from Turkish second division club Adana Demirspor.
Jacob leaves Demirspor exactly six months after joining the club from Dutch side FC Utrecht.
The Zambia striker said he left Turkey on Thursday but declined to elaborate.
“Yes I have left but will give you the details later,” Jacob told AfricanFootball.com.
The 30-year-old Zambia striker enjoyed a good start at third placed Demirspor scoring 8 goals in 15 games.
Jacob joined the promotion chasers on a free transfer last August after five seasons at Utrecht.
Meanwhile, the striker was snubbed by Zambia coach Honour Janza for the 2015 Africa Cup that will be held in Equatorial Guinea from January 17 to February 8.

Hopefully he’s not been enticed to go to China.
My Nkana being stripped naked. And our chairman left and everyone I’ve asked about the new Chairman Kabila is blank, with a not so good coach Bestone Chambeshi and Danny Callow gone from Mopanoi, kaya!
Jacob mulenga to Nkana fc now that would be something.The things dreams are made of
Kkkkkkk I would rather like him to join Mazembe or Sundowns.
Jacob was not being paid his salary….The club breached his contract by failing to pay him his dues….which is sad….no wonder Katumbi has little respect for these European clubs….alot of players just go to suffer in Europe
Janza shud have included him now that he is even so free!
Goog development new players are coming bt i personally will miss Festus.
Nkana for life i love my team and iam happy tht Kasusu is coming to Nkana tht guy frm Uganda is also back and Sitali around, bt pls minimize buying players who re fininished like Kombe who hasn’t made any impact we need competent players.
I wud luv to see our Zambian. National team players being playing at the some club here, like nkans fc the red darvous or at zesco united we can see our strikes score more goals & their can be organized team cause we are only liking good strikers in our national team this is now our chance to build up our team.
