“The transaction was mutually agreed between the two clubs on Thursday, October 2nd, in a spirit of good collaboration,” the statement reads.

“By joining Kabwe Warriors, John Bakata will have the opportunity to play consistent minutes, progress, and return stronger for TPM, ready to contribute to the club’s future. TPM wishes him every success in this new phase of his career.”

Amsini is a product of Mazembe’s youth team football structures and has always been touted as a forward with big potential.

Why John Bakata Amsini didnt stand a chance at Mazembe

However, he does not stand a chance of a regular place in the team which has experienced players in attack such as Lanjesi Nkhoma and Patrick Mwaungulu.

Mazembe acknowledged Amsini faced stiff competition upfront, saying: “In a squad rich in offensive competition, this loan will allow him to gain playing time and regain his full fitness in a league renowned for its intensity.”

It is unclear if the Congolese player stands a chance to feature in Warriors’ next league game against Konkola Blades at Railways Stadium.
