D. O. B -27/10/1999
Current Club – Wigan Athletic U18
The Wigan Athletic media Team describes him as “The Powerful Zambian-born striker who offers pace and strength and a real threat in front of goal.”
Honouring his first Zambia call up the youngster is rated highly and has a lot to prove to fit the hype.
At Club level he seems to be getting it right with the Wigan Athletic youth team as he is their leading goalscorer in all competitions with 25 goals despite a number of frustrating injuries in recent months.
Malumo will be one of the players to look out for should Zambia make it to Niger and prior to that he will have the role of helping the team make it to Niger for a chance at defending the title they won a year ago.
With Francisco Mwepu already looking like the goal poacher for the young Chipolopolo, Malumo as to prove his worth to displace him or partner him in attack whatever the coach will see fit.
