Chipolopolo star defender Stoppilla Sunzu says he is excited at re-uniting with his former national team trainer Herve Renard in France.
Sunzu whose appearance at the Chilenje Christmas tournament caused a stir with several fans trooping to the dusty pitch to have a peek at the towering defender.
The tournament attracted the likes of Fwayo Tembo, Sunzu and Roger Kola to give the Chilenje faithful a New Year football present.
“I was very happy when the chairman (Moise Katumbi) called me and told that I was going to France. I am very happy and looking forward to working with Renard again because we know each other very well,” Sunzu said.
The former TP Mazembe player is expected to sign a 1.5 million euro three year deal while his compatriot Nathan Sinkala will be on a six months loan.
The deal will be a second shot at French league action after an unsuccessful stay at Chateauroux in 2008.
Sunzu is expected to travel to France on Thursday.
