Patson Daka has been a sensation for Leicester City. Though with limited chances, he has remained calm and positive by focusing on adjusting in England.

During the international break, Patson Daka joined his national team of Zambia to play their last game in the World Cup qualifiers. With no hopes of securing a qualification, his trip to his homeland didn’t end as a dull affair.

Patson Daka is loved by his country; the outpouring of Zambian support towards LCFC is a testament to this. His appearances in the Premier League and the Europa League have been celebrated nationwide by his native land.

Poetically, the patient Zambian forward found his first of many goals against the globally renowned Manchester United. It was in the 91st minute in Leicester’s 4-2 win over United. More celebrations followed courtesy of the national pride when he bagged an astonishing feat of scoring four goals against Spartak Moscow.

Representing Zambia, on the global stage, Daka couldn’t have done anything better to make his country proud. His fellow countryman Enock Mwepu has found his footing while playing and scoring for Brighton against Liverpool. Please click the below link to move onto the subsequent page of the article.
