South African ABSA Premiership side Mpumalanga Black Aces have held talks with Zambian hitman Winstone Kalengo, Zambianfootball.co.zm can exclusively reveal.
Black Aces joins another PSL side Supersport United in expressing interest to sign the Zesco United forward.
According to ZamFoot Crew sources, Black Aces are understood to have sent club general manager to Lusaka and he met with the 2015 season prolific striker in Lusaka.
“The club have identified Kalengo and want to partner him with Collins Mbesuma for the second half of the campaign.
“But Aces faces competition from Supersport and we hear Sundowns have also entered the race to sign him,” the source added.
Supersport United was the first PSL side to show interest, but in the last few days, big spenders Sundowns have also made contact.
The lure of playing alongside Mbesuma could tempt Kalengo to join Aces though the player favours a move to Europe.
“Winstone [Kalengo] has said he would prefer going to Europe,” a close associate said.
With a move to Europe not likely to happen, the former Kasama Boys secondary school striker might end up in South Africa.
There’s also a slim chance of joining TP Mazembe depending on whether top striker Samatta Mbwana gets a Euro move.
For now, Mazembe is focussed on the FIFA Club World Cup and once that is done, they might just table an offer.
For Zesco United, there’s also ‘Kachepa on the Ball’ that the striker might go for free as his contract is up in December.
Kalengo scored 18 goals in the league and 6 for Zambia. He is favourite to land the 2015 Zambian Player of the Year gong.
Should Winstone Kalengo join a South African Club or wait for a Euro move>? Have Your Say
Kale nGoal need a good retirement because he has come at the international scene post his prime age.Do not join Sundowns.
Hehehehe!!! Good advice, do not join Sundowns.
He should stay at Zesco or go to India to play with Kondwani.
sundowns have offered more money to kalengo as his pay than any other club. to make matters worse, they are discussing with kalengo himself who has not given them a sure has he is in a dilemma. I prefer To mazembe, above all these clubs on kalengo.
Maybe joining Mbesuma i can support not other destroyers
If he join mbesuma at Aces it will be a good move not sundown because he will end up sitting on the bench.TP mazembe is also a good option
Clubs like sundown,kaizer chiefs and orlando pirates. if you gets an injury to them you are finished example is mbesuma, look at how orlando pirates wanted to finish mbesuma but now he is the best player in the league at the moments
Let him make his money he does not have many years left in his carrer
Going by what is now emerging, it seems most unlikely that Kalengo would be at CHAN Africa cup, because he’ll be a foreign based player quite soon. What then are the options. Sundowns is not a good idea, as we have observed with several top players who easily get relegated to the bench. Among the mentioned interest parties I favour firstly TP Mazembe, followed by Black Aces. I still think Europe is on its way, they will soon start nocking. Some patience will pay off!
Sundown’s trick is to. Weaken other teams..kalengoal should just opt for Black Aces or any other side other than Sundowns
One other advise for kalengo he should leave after the chan tournement.because we need him to lead the attack
Or may be he should wait for the june july transfer window.anywer its up to him to decide we can only advise him
Winstone wont go to a good europe league coz of his age,the only league he can join is either bo denmark,sweden,norway,israel etc..and most psl teams pay equal salaries or better than those leagues so considering his age a move to Aces,SSU,Sundowns makes sense as he will look to make a good retirement package..for him is not about making a name for himself anymore but rather a good salary n retirement package…..
No sundown in the equation please. This team specializes in destroying zambian players.
Let him stay at Zesco and help them in CAF champions league. Thats y we always got booked out early. He can consider Black asses next season.
SURE MY BROTHER..HE WILL EVEN MARKET HIMSELF PLAYING IN THE CAF CHAMPION LEAGUE AND STILL MAKE MORE MONEY IF ZESCO MAKES IT TO THE GROUP STAGE..
how old is karen goal.who is oldee the congoleaae guys who plays in europe or kalengo.i mean this crystal palace guy en the former tp mazembe guy playin fr nowich city.
Kalegoal should know to play the cards to his advantage. If becomes a star at chan or champs league he will gain value.If he goes to south now he must join a team that is a serious contender for psl title.
Sundowns will shutdown your career Winstone…think twice about it.
@Wiza those guys went to europe at an early age,european teams wont take risks on an unproven player from a zambian league…so a move to good european team or league is defntly outta da question
Why can’t ZESCO increase his salary so that he helps them in CAF!!!!
Pathetic Zambian at it again,who with their right mind can sign toaster,chepeshi,body and kapota these stupid lads and the riged cluless mentor cost us a game.
join the club that can make you happy even after your career
Ndetsmbafye
He mustn’t go to Sundowns or they’ll try and ruin him like they’ve done to Kennedy Mweene, Mukuka Mulenga and Hichani Himonde! I would prefer for him to stay at Zesco but for the sake of money he can go and partner up with Mbesuma at Black Aces or go to TP Mazembe.
Kalengo wait dont rush,chan is coming,4get abut sudown mazembe is best african champion if they offer u dont worst time.
He shud join Black aces.
Pipo Advis Zesco 2 Increase Kalengo’s Salary So That He Help Us In Caf Nd Chan
Zesco can never in a million years match the salaries of top PSL teams, so advising them to increase his salary is a lost cause truth be told. The fact that one of the highest paid players in the ZPL, the Kenyan at Nkana, gets a poultry 30,000+ rand salary is evidence of just how poorly paid players in the ZPL are. At a team like Sundowns or ACES he will be looking at a salary in the region of R150,000 a month and if he has a clever agent brokering the deal for him can also have other after retirement investment options attached to the deal. TP Mazemebe are a cash package deal team were as the PSL has packaged deals that if an agent has a players interest at heart can insure that the player will be set up for many years after retirement. For game time I’d advise him to join ACES. The Aces owners (brothers) are the youngest club owners in the PSL and extremely ambitious. They will pay him well and additional things like personal trainer facilities will be availed to him. If he joins Sundowns he is likely to only be with them for 2 seasons and not a lot of game time but he will walk away with a bank account with many zero’s in it.
Black aces are a graet team,sundowns,mazembe,supersport,these are big spending clubs,if his goes for game play mpumalanga black aces are a great club 2nd in the psl and kalengo must jst cool down its too early to talk abt europe
If kalengo is to improve and if he must help the country he must leave zesco,zesco must sign other foregein players to help them in caf
kalengo should go to aces or mazembe where he will play in the champions league for mazembe and be exposed on the continent or better let him play chan and then prove himself and get a deal in europe but going to sundowns will be a share waste of time .
If Zega can manage to give him a three years contract at a good fee let them do that n he should go for that. he is likely to benefit more. if they can’t then TP n sundowns can be OK.Our players of late ve no much potential n luck charisma. just look at the useless u23. really can u call that a good future, no. that’s dull dull. join me to calling Simukonda to resign!.
simukonda shuld n’t resign cos he is a gud coach it’s only de useless U23 player who did n’t do well
Sundowns is notorious for wasting our talent. Just ask Mukuka and Mweene.
I don’t think you can decide putright that he cannot go to Europe because of his age. There was recently a Cameroonian player Patrick Mboma who went to Europe already over 30 and did well.
No one off u knows that elmereck has closed in money at the club but i ii advise him to play for zesco n champions league chan to maket himself
