Nyasa Big Bullets are prepared to offer Southern Region Division One’s Nsanama FC forward, Dave Banda, a four-year contract worth K850,000 .
Bullets General Secretary, Albert Chigoga, has made the offer, which includes medical insurance, through a letter which The Daily Times has seen.
“We appreciate that your club and the player himself have agreed with our terms. Take note that this is not a contract. We have a full detailed contract for both parties and the player to sign,” he said in the letter dated March 27 2017.
“Our chairman and the treasurer are both out of the country for other businesses, we humbly request your acceptance to be paid next week…. our technical panel would like to take a look at the player during training and upcoming friendly games.”
Nsanama General Secretary, Joe Chembe, Tuesday confirmed receiving the letter from Bullets.
“We will certainly release the player to Bullets. He has been to Red Lions and Wanderers before for trials and we cannot stand in his way. We, however, feel that the money is on the lower side for a four-year contract, so we will negotiate for more,” he said.
Banda comes to Bullets with a good reputation having scored 42 goals for Nsanama, who finished on third position in the Southern Region Football Association (SRFA) Division One.
SRFA Vice General Secretary, Kingsley Simbeye, Tuesday rated Banda highly, but cautioned that he must not be rushed.
“Such big teams need experienced strikers so Banda is a player who needs to be given time to adapt. He also needs a good coach to polish him up,” Simbeye explained.
Bullets want to beef up the squad after losing striker-in-chief Chiukepo Msowoya to South African side, Golden Arrows.
The People’s Team failed to score in regulation time in two games in the Wafawafa Big Four Bonanza played at Bingu National Stadium last weekend.
