This move as coming at the very right time and I will work extra hard so that I will get myself to the starting line-up and prove to the world what am capable of doing,” he said.Having won the top goalscorer award in the Eden University, Albert feels he as the chance to try and also win the award in the Superleague and also win the league with Zanaco.“I am eying for the top scorer award which I know won’t be easy but I believe in myself and in the great team of players I have joined, I know I will get the chance to learn more from established players like Chisamba Lungu who are AfCON winners,” he added.Zanaco announced the signing of the former Under-20 international Kangwanda on a one-year deal from Kafue Celtic, while 20-year-old Abraham Siankombo from Police College has penned a three-year contract.
