Daka, 22, moved to the Premier League side from Red Bull Salzburg earlier this week, signing a five-year contract with the 2016 Premier League champions. Mulenga, who has just helped Go Ahead Eagles to promotion to the Dutch top flight, believes the move is significant for both Zambia and southern Africa as a whole. "It's a very big thing for Africa in general but specifically for southern Africa," Mulenga told BBC Sport Africa. Southern Africa is a not-so-known place for talent. "The talent is there but not many manage to go into Europe and make it big, so what he's done is very big for all the kids in southern Africa."
