Zesco United striker Winston Kalengo has taken over as the Zambia national teams’ top scorer for the 2015 match season.

The 30-year-old late-comer to the Zambia fold has gone top of the log on three goals at the end of the September international match week.

Kalengo’s goal in Zambia’;s 2-1 away win over Kenya on Sunday saw him add to his tally from the 2016 CHAN first round qualifiers in June and July after netting in a 2-1 away loss and 2-1 home win over Namibia respectively.

The striker is also currently the 2015 FAZ Super Division season top scorer with 11 goals after 23 rounds of matches played.

In second place on the 2015 Chipolopolo charts is Zambia captain Rainford Kalaba who scored his second national team goal of the year in Tuesday’s 1-1 friendly draw against Gabon Kenya and is now tied with ex-Green Buffaloes winger Allan Mukuka who recently joined demoted South African club Amazulu.

  1. I like Kalengo’s determination, skill, creativity and speed with the ball on the field of play. He deserves to be part of the national soccer team.

    • @Zedoc, you are a liar, typical PF. Kalengo is not skillful and not creative. Maybe determination.
      We just have to say that Kalengo is having a good year.

  2. there is nothing to talk about top scorer,honestly two goals you make it like big news wait until we qualify for AFOCON and after that yes you can compile.but off course the player is at its best He deserves praise.
