Zambian veteran striker Jacob Mulenga believes compatriot Patson Daka signing for English Premier League side Leicester City could open doors for Southern African football. With Daka joining Leicester City, Mulenga believes things could change the stance. “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. At Leicester City, Daka meets fellow Africans in Nigerians Wilfried Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho and Ghanaian Daniel Amartey as well as Ivorian Habib Kolo Toure who is an assistant coach at the club.
