Zambian football icon Kalusha Bwalya has showered praise on Leicester City new signing Patson Daka.
Daka was identified as a player during the reign of Kalusha Bwalya between 2012 and 2015.
He received his first national team call-up around 2015 when Bwalya was FAZ President.
Bwalya said Daka has worked hard to climb this high mountain adding that there are more opportunities coming along his way.
"Congratulations Sonny, you have worked hard and climbed this mountain. There are many more coming your way. Keep climbing and keep shining. With your hard work and discipline you will move mountains and make us all proud. Go out there and play your heart," he said.
Bwalya is considered by many as the most successful player in the history of Zambian football who has managed to win international accolades like the Africa Footballer of the Year; the first from Southern Africa to do so.
Daka signed a five year contract with the England based side that will see him at the club up to 2026.
Daka, who is formerly of Red Bull Salzburg has broken the transfer record in Zambia and Southern Africa with his £23 million move to the former English Premier League side.
Leicester City had to beat Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool in acquiring the services of the 22 year old Zambian.
