Zambian striker Emmanuel Mayuka has finally left English premier league side Southampton club after Coach Ronald Koeman said he had no future at Southampton.

Mayuka now moves to join Ligue 2 side FC Metz.

Koeman had revealed to the press that Mayuka did not have a future at the club after he had failed to impress on the South Coast.

Mayuka, 24, joined Southampton from Swiss side Young Boys in 2012 but failed to make this mark in his lowly 16 league appearances which saw him not score a goal in the top tier of English football.

In 2013-14, he was shipped out on loan at Sochaux, mustering four goals in 21 appearances.

The 2012 African Cup of Nations Golden Boot winner entered English football with some hype surrounding him. But, he ultimately failed to live up to the standards of a reliable Premier League striker.

Metz recently suffered relegation from Ligue 1 after finishing 19th in the 2014-15 season.
On Monday night Metz, who were relegated from Ligue 1 in May, confirmed the arrival of 56-time Zambia international at the Stade Saint-Symphorien.

  1. …for some reason Mayuka has become a millisecond slower than he was in his heydays…his weight and women may just be some of the factors for his recent mediocre performance….even at this new club…he may just last for a season only….for now China or India may be the best bet for him…not even Zed… at only 24 apwabwangu…
