Chipolopolo International and one of Zambia’s most seasoned European based player Jacob Mulenga, is set to leave Dutch side FC Utrecht and Zambian Football understands that one of the destinations for the big striker could be China.
Mulenga, 30, who scored 45 goals in his 112 appearances for Utrecht, went to Europe in 2004; first campaigning in France for FC Chateauroux in the French Ligue2 before a short spell with Ligue 1 outfit Strasbourg.
Utrecht says Mulenga will not be offered a new contract adding that the Zambian international was free to talk to other clubs.
Mulenga’s career has long been plagued with injuries which sidelined for many months at Utrecht and forced him to miss important Zambia fixtures.
His last game for Utrecht was the final match of the season which Utrecht won 2-1 against Vitese to leave the cub in what it called a disappointing 10th on the table.
Mulenga is expected to be named in Patrice Beaumelle’s Chipolopolo squad to play world cup finalists Japan in Miami next month.

The friendly against Japan is in Tampa not Miami. Stop misleading people ala.
