AFTER snatching Khama Billiat from under the noses of Dynamos, Yadah Stars have decided to spread their wings and go international.
According to reports from Zambia, Yadah are now after the signature of Zambian international striker, Brian Mwila, who they hope to sign in June.
A Zambian sports journalist, Wami Katanga, confirmed this on his Facebook wall yesterday.
“Zambian international striker Brian Mwila has attracted interest from Zimbabwean top-flight club Yadah FC — confirmed!
“Yadah are planning to make a move for the 29-year-old centre-forward in June when his contract at Zanaco runs out.
“Mwila would join a list of marquee signings including superstar Khama Billiat at Yadah who plan to qualify for the CAF Champions League,” Katanga wrote.
A close source at Yadah, who asked not to be named, yesterday told Zimpapers Sport that Mwila’s signing was imminent.
“Yes, it’s true that we are after the signature of Zambian striker Brian Mwila.
“I think we have agreed personal (financial) terms with him and his agent and all that is left is for him to put pen to paper once his contract with Zanaco expires in June.
“The guy is definitely signing for us in June… I can safely say the deal is done and dusted.
“And he is not the only foreign player that we are after. We are eyeing a number of good players within this region and we might sign one or two more during the next transfer window in June,” said the same source at Yadah.
Mwila’s playing career began in his native Zambia where he turned out for Lime Hotspurs, Kabwe Warriors and Green Buffaloes before moving to South Africa to join Platinum Stars in 2017.
In 2022, Mwila signed a two-year contract with Power Dynamos before he left them to join his current club Zanaco.
He is currently part of the Zambia senior national team under Avram Grant.
Yadah owner, Prophet Walter Magaya, recently completed the construction of a 5 000-seater stadium. The facility, Heart Stadium, is now being used by his side for their home matches this season.
