Zambian club Zesco United has finalized the acquisition of Nigerian forward Chijioke Alaekwe, according to Completesports. Alaekwe, who joined Zega Mambo on a free transfer, has signed a two-year contract with the club. The 27-year-old was a standout player for Akwa United in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) last season, scoring five goals in 21 matches. Unfortunately, the Uyo club could not retain their position in the top league and got relegated to the Nigeria National League (NNL). Throughout his career, Alaekwe has also played for Kano Pillars, Gombe United, the now-defunct Ifeanyi Ubah, and Nasarawa United in the NPFL. Additionally, Zesco United has added three more players to their roster: Kelvin Mubanga Kampamba, Kabaso Chongo, and Ifoni Pepo. The club finished the last season in second place in the Zambian Super League.
