The 2017 U-20 AFCON winner has penned a four-year deal with the Seagulls.
“Albion are pleased to confirm the signing of Enock Mwepu from reigning Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg on a four-year deal, on undisclosed terms.”
The 23-year-old Zambian international becomes Graham Potter’s first signing ahead of the 2021/22 Premier League campaign, which will be Albion’s fifth consecutive year in the top-flight.
The Albion head coach Potter has expressed happiness with the acquisition of the former Kafue Celtic, Power Dynamos, and NAPSA Stars midfielder.
“We’re delighted to be able to welcome Enock to the club and are looking forward to working with him,” he said.
“He has a great deal of experience for somebody of his age, including Champions League and international football.”
“He’s primarily a central midfielder, although he is capable of playing in numerous positions, is open-minded, adaptable, and very keen to learn and develop.”
“He will add competition to our existing options in that area of the squad going into the new season,” he added.
The Boy from Chambishi made his debut for Chipolopolo in the 3-1 world Cup qualifier win over Algeria and scored the final goal.
Mwepu becomes the sixth Zambian to join an English side, Patson Daka became the fifth Zambian last month when he penned a five-year deal with the Foxes, Leicester City.
Former Chipolopolo strikers Emmanuel Mayuka and Collins Mbesuma had unsuccessful spells with Southampton and Portsmouth respectively.
Well done kid!!!!
patson should have joined a rb
leipzig. mwepu should have joined
BD. as it stands, this is the end of
daka amd mwepu. this is the epl
we talking were every zambian
player has failed. its suicidal for
zambia because 2 of our best
players will finish at once.
This time around the story will be different
Mbesuma was 200 kg when he played for Tottenham.
Ha! Now l have more games to watch in the premiership!!
This is a stepping stone for you Mwepu, computerise them and move on to bigger things…congratulations sonny!
All the best to Enock. This is a stepping stone to greater heights. BHA is good club and not always fighting for survival. If Bissouma stays the midfield will be solid for BHA.
Go and Conquer son of the Soil.
Nice move for Papa and enock
Good move forward for mwepu and patson we will enjoy watching English premier league this coming season
Its does not mean if others have failed thy will fail to,all the best
Please let’s learn to support and encourage patson data and Enoch mwepu,it doesn’t mean if other Zambian players failed in the EPL then everyone else will fail. The failure by other Zambian players shouldn’t be used as a determining factor rather be used as stepping stone to succeed.
Young men I encourage you to look and consider what our very own Zambians and Africans at large,rather be focused,disciplined and determined to excel in EPL. Shine for yourselves, for your families and for mother Zambian. You have my support and will always pray for God’s grace to overshadow you.
