Zambia's success at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon has not gone unnoticed, with a number of big clubs around the globe eyeing their top stars.
Chipolopolo have upset the form book to top their group and make it all the way to the final on Sunday, where they face the might of Cote d'Ivoire.
The result notwithstanding, it seems many of the Zambians will leave this tournament as winners, and KickOff.com reports that two of them are on the wanted list of South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns.
Nathan Sinkala and Francis Kasonde have been two of the stars for Chipolopolo and could make their way to Chloorkop in the next few months.
The 20-year-old Sinkala has been holding the midfield together, while 25-year-old Kasonde has been a rock in defence. Both were signed by TP Mazembe before the tournament got underway.
Zambia coach Herve Reinard has been especially lavish in his praise of Sinkala, saying at a press conference: “Everyone can see that he already plays like a guy who has 50 caps already. It's time for him to leave Zambia; his place is at a club in Europe.”
