Happy Crocodiles of Zambia hit a big-money jackpot thanks to Daka and Mwepu transfers

Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg has developed quite a business. They sign virtually unknown talented youngsters, coach them until they are developed and sell them for a substantial profit. They’ve done so with the likes of Naby Keita, Erling Haaland, Sadio Mane, Dominic Szoboszlai, Amadou Haidara, Duje Caleta-Car and many others.

OFFICIAL: Patson Daka is a 'Fox'

This transfer window has seen Red Bull Salzburg sell two players to Premier League clubs. Patson Daka joined Leicester City for $33 million and Enock Mwepu went to Brighton & Hove Albion for $25.3 million. That’s a lot of money. But not all of it will go to the Austrian club. A percentage of the amount will be divided among the clubs that developed those players since their early days. And a little club from Zambia had both of the new Premier League players on their books – Kafue Celtic Football Club.

The little club from Zambia is set to receive a fee of $9.341.000 for their efforts. Yes, that’s nearly ten million US dollars!

Yet another Zambian set to rock the EPL

Both Mwepu and Daka went from Kafue Celtic to FC Liefering, a little club in Austria that serves as a boot camp for youngsters to adapt to life in that part of Europe and get the training needed before they team up with Red Bull Salzburg. They brought trophies, goals and glory to the visionaries at Salzburg, but they also secured a massive payment as a reward for coaches in Zambia who helped to turn boys into professional footballers.

Well done, you Crocodiles!
