Zambian Champions Zesco United have signed Congolese striker Chrispin Mugalu on a free transfer from Lusaka Dynamos, the ZamFoot Crew understands
And according to the ZamFoot Crew sources in Ndola, the eight times league winners are also closing on Zimbabwe and Zanaco midfielder Tafadzwa Rusike.
Rusike is also set to sign as a free agent.
The transfer of Mugalu to Zega has been one of the longest running sagas of the year.
With Lusaka Dynamos slumping a $1 million clause in his contract, they have always insisted on value while Zesco United played it cool as they waited for his contract to expire.
The ZamFoot Crew understands that Mugalu’ s contract ended on 5th December, and having signed a pre-contract with Zesco United 6 months ago, it was an easy choice for the former Lupopo hitman.
Mugalu, the 2017 MTN Super League top scorer is considered by many as one of the deadliest strikers to grace the local scene in the last 5 years.
While there were the rumours of a possibility of re-signing Lazarous Kambole from Kaizer Chiefs on loan, the capture of the 28 year old hitman has paved off those plans.
Should they add Rusike on their roster, then Zesco United might be unstoppable.
The George Lwandamina coached side have the won five of the last league titles, taking their tally to eight.
Many Bola Yapa Zed will be hoping that Zescolo will transfer the dominance to CAF Champions League.
Zesco are action on Saturday against five times CAF Champions League winners TP Mazembe on match day 2.
But they have to navigate past the group stage without Mugalu and Rusike.
The duo are likely to join the party in quarter finals should Jesse Were and co deliver qualification in a group that also Zamalek and Primero de Agosto.
Wapwa iwe chapwa, look at logic chingandu, zikiru Adams, Rahim osumani, ba zesco you should also know how to groom players, not just dishing out money all the time.
You are very right. Zesco should start grooming their own players. A club with such financial backup depending on other clubs to feed them. Very shameful indeed. Give young Zambian players a chance
