Good words for the young lady bro.

He is not joining from an African club, he plays already in Europe, Champions league etc. He will be given a work permit
May God always Bless your carrier be humble,Focus nd Discipline comes first Remember…Bola Na Lesa.
Good luck patson Daka, remember discipline is important
All the BEST Champ. Enock Mwepu next in line. Zambia ku fyalo!!
I’m happy for you, may God bless you dear,. Just continue to work hard that’s the spirit we want
Daka wont be given a work permit/clearance because of Zambias low fifa ranking. those are the rules in England. They have signed him, however they will loan him to another team. In scotland maybe
he wont be granted a work permit be because zambia is ranked low on the fifa rankings. they will sign him but loan him out somewhere
He has been playing in Europe. Mayuka went to Southampton from Young Boys without issues. Patson is not coming direct from Africa, he plays in Europe already. You the Managers at his new club are you foolish???
