Zambian defensive midfielder Golden Mafwenta has shed light on his future aspirations while addressing the persistent transfer rumors swirling around him.
Currently plying his trade with MFK Vykov in the Czech Republic, Mafwenta, valued at €175,000 by the Transfermarkt, expressed his commitment to his current club but hinted that a move to a new European club could be on the horizon.
The 22-year-old player, who also doubles as a center back, has emerged as a pivotal figure for Vykov, featuring in 15 matches this season. Despite calls from fans urging him to make a leap to a bigger club, Mafwenta emphasized that he is dedicated to Vykov and is focused on developing his career with the team.
“I am committed to Vykov,” Mafwenta told The Nerve Africa, “I will think about moving to a different club later but not now.”
Currently on loan from MSL Next Pro side Real Monarchs SLC, Mafwenta expressed satisfaction with his development at Vykov. “I am happy here, and I think it’s good for my development, but of course, I will consider joining a different club later,” he added.
With his loan tenure set to conclude at the end of the season, Mafwenta’s performances have not gone unnoticed. As the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) approaches in January, the midfielder has the opportunity to attract potential suitors in Europe. Mafwenta showcased his skills in the World Cup qualifiers for Zambia against Congo Brazzaville and Niger, earning a spot in Chipolopolo’s provisional squad for the upcoming AFCON finals.
As the transfer speculation intensifies, Mafwenta remains focused on his current commitments while keeping an eye on future possibilities. The football world eagerly awaits the next chapter in the promising career of this talented Zambian midfielder.
