Klings Kangwa unveiled by Greek giants Panathinaikos 

Chipolopolo Boys midfielder Klings Kangwa has been unveiled by Greek giants Panathinaikos after completing a move to the Athens based outfit. 

Kangwa was unveiled on Friday afternoon after completing all the formalities and passing a medical to seal his switch from Israeli Premier League Champions, Hapoel Be’er Sheva. 

Kangwa yesterday penned an emotional farewell message for Be’er Sheva after ending a memorable spell at Hapoel Be’er Sheva in which he established himself as one of the Israeli Premier League’s standout performers and further enhanced his reputation as one of Zambia’s leading football exports.

On Wednesday he played his final game for Be’er Sheva and set up the second goal as the Israeli Premier League Champions beat Icelandic side Vikingur Reykjavik 2-0 to qualify  to the third round of the 2026/2027 UEFA UEFA Champions League qualifiers, 3-2 on aggregate. 

Kangwa has put pen to paper on a four-year contract with Panathinaikos, keeping him at the Athens-based club until June 2030. The deal is reportedly worth around €1 million per season.

Panathinaikos agreed a transfer package worth €4.5 million, consisting of a fixed fee of €3.8 million and a further €700,000 in performance-related bonuses.

At Be’er Sheva Kangwa played 84 games in total and made 49 goal contributions (29 goals and 20 assists).
