A two-member Zesco United technical committee team begins its player scouting mission at the Cosafa Senior Challenge Cup in Zimbabwe this week.
Club secretary Justin Mumba said the team will comprise Zesco executive committee member and ex-Under-17 team manager Hastings Ndovi and assistant coach and former Nkana goalkeeper Emmanuel Mschili.
“They will leave next week and will focus on the matches involving Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi,” Mumba said.
Zesco are scouting for foreign strikers for next years prospective continental club campaign.
The defending champions have striker worries with Enoch Sakala and Nicholas Zulu struggling to find the target for most of the season.
Zesco currently lead the Faz Premier Division table on 54 points, three points ahead of Zanaco who could only draw 1-1 away to second from bottom Nakambala Leopards.
Mumba said the club was delighted that Zesco were back on top and focusing on retaining their league title.
“We just have to remain focused and we cannot relax,” Mumba said.

Zesco needs to nurture local talent before going out to recruit foreign players.
The management should be aware that they use tax-payers money to run the club and hence the need to invest in local talent.
Zesco should set up an academy to groom Zambian young talent which is abundant instead of starting experiments with foreign players.
Please don’t waste money,get Mbesuma.
Greetings to all on LT and may the great Lord Jesus bless you all aswell. My prayers for you and your families. My brothers Mule and Shimaster, if Europe had not opened up it’s doors you would have not seen the deadliest striker the world has seen in the last four years in Eto’o emerge. Look at how international exposure has helped ivory coast. Even Spain is showing Ururu in this age due to people like Senna or even Torres and Fabregas. Diversity brings a new understanding and greatness when applied correctly. This might be the signing of a Pele and Maradona, or even both that this team needs.
