Mumamba is particularly happy with the capture of Sikombe who he has described as a team utility player.

“Sikombe is a utility player. We can use him in different positions. Remember we have been laboring going forward. It is good and important for us to have a player like him in the team.”

Mumamba expects his new recruits to quickly adjust to life at the club and contribute to the success of the team.

“We let go of some good players. We have also brought in good quality players to fill the void left by those that have left. I believe we have the right players with the right energy and mindset to get us to the promised land.

“I expect everyone to adjust to life as soon as possible because we need the points to catch up with Red Arrows. We have the balance in the team with the additions we have made.”

ZESCO United will this Saturday face Kansanshi Dynamos in the MTN Super League week 23match to be played in Solwezi.
