Fashion Sakala Junior

Fashion Sakala Junior

Fashion Sakala Junior attacks space, runs beyond the line, and shoots from cutting inside as the primary forward. He began at Zanaco, helping win the Zambia Super League in 2016. Sakala thrives in fast transitions. A move to Rangers brought a Scottish Cup in 2021–22 and a run to a Europa League final. Sakala then joined Al-Fayha and scored 19 goals in 2023–24, becoming the club's top scorer by January 2025, while being named to the Zambia squad for AFCON 2025. Fashion Sakala Junior leads the press, harassing defenders high up the pitch and pinning centre-backs with his pace. He links play with one-touch lay-offs and cuts inside to finish with his right foot. In attack, Sakala gets shots off quickly and stays a constant attacking outlet for Al-Fayha.
