Zambian striker Patson Daka's move to Leicester City is a major step for southern African football, says veteran Chipolopolo star Jacob Mulenga.
"It's a very good move for him," Mulenga said.
"From Red Bull going all the way straight to the Premier League - usually you'd think there's another step in between but he's worked hard. He's earned it."
Mulenga, who has just helped Go Ahead Eagles to promotion to the Dutch top-flight, believes the move is significant for both Zambia and southern Africa as a whole.
"It's a very big thing for Africa in general but specifically for southern Africa," Mulenga told BBC Sport Africa.
