Kenyan international Anthony Akumu, dubbed the new Yaya Toure by his adoring ZESCO fans, is being heavily linked with a move to Absa Premiership leaders Kaizer Chiefs.
With August signing James Kotei having failed to make an impact since arriving at Naturena, Akumu is reportedly being targeted by Chiefs and could reunite with former Zesco man Lazarous Kambole.
The 27-year-old central midfielder was heavily linked with Amakhosi midway through last season after he was a standout performer in the CAF Confederation Cup and could be available in the January transfer window, according to FarPost.
Amakhosi fans won’t have forgotten Akumu as he netted a stunning strike for ZESCO against Chiefs in the second leg of their CAF Confederations Cup tie last year.
