Nkana's new international signee, Ugandan striker Tony Odur has finally completed his move to Kitwe and jetted in the country yesterday.And Zesco United are looking to add another international flavour to their ranks with Tanzania national team striker Juma Liuzio looking to impress the Ndola side.
Odur has signed a one year deal with the Wusakile side and was met on arrival at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport by club chairman Ken Mwansa.
"He arrived this morning at 10h45 and signed a one year contract," Mwansa said.
The striker who starred for Kampala City Council netted 15 goals last season and is expected to fill the void left by star striker Evans Kangwa who has left for Israel.
However, the former Kampala City Council striker will have to make do with local
football as he is ineligible for CAF duties where Nkana is campaigning in the Group stage of the Confederation Cup.
Meanwhile, Zesco United are having a look at Liuizio who plays for Mutibwa Sugar FC in Tanzania with the possibility of signing him.
Zesco United already have two other foreign players in Togolese defender Emmanuel Matias and Zimbabwean Zimiseleni Moyo.
