A Zesco United winger is frustrated by a lack of playing time at the Ndola-based Super League club in the 2022/23 season.

Edward Lungu, 21, joined Zesco in 2021 from Kitwe United on a three-year deal but has fallen the pecking order under head coach George Lwandamina.

Lungu has not made the match-day squad in more than six consecutive weeks. He is now prepared to part ways with the nine-time Zambian champions, a source close to the player has revealed to BolaNews.

It’s also understood that Lungu is now getting frustrated at the club since the arrival of Lwandamina in Ndola.

“The player is really frustrated by lack of playing time,” the source disclosed. “And he is thinking about the next move.”

Before moving to Zesco, Lungu scored 5 goals and provided 6 assists for Kitwe United in 25 appearances.

He is said to be considering his options for next season, with a number of Super League clubs expected to line up for a potential swoop.

“It has been the toughest period of his playing career because he was impressive last year but can no longer make the squad. It is every player’s dream to play football…. But if he is not given the chance, then he has to consider other options,” the source said.

Lungu has been in and out of the team and his last involvement was in February against FC MUZA.
