Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>ZESCO United are reportedly chasing the signatures of two former Nigeria junior Internationals as they look to reinforce the squad for the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

Wami Katanga reports that Nigerian striker Wasiu Jimoh has arrived in Zambia ahead of a move to Zesco United. The Kwara United forward has scored 3 goals in 4 CAF Champions League appearances this season including a brace against Moroccan heavyweights RS Berkane.<\/p>\n

Tanzanian giants Simba SC and South African side Maritzburg United have also previously shown interest in the former Nigeria U-20 international. Meanwhile, Nigerian international defender Denis Nya is expected to arrive in Zambia today ahead of a move to Zesco United.<\/p>\n

The 26-year old central defender who can also operate in midfield, plies his trade for Akwa United in the Nigerian top-flight. He was part of the Nigeria U-17 squad that won the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup in the UAE. Nya is expected to replace South Sudanese defender Peter Maker Manyang who is set to be released.<\/p>\n
