It further said the midfielder was in Zambia with his agent since last week ahead of a medical and and formalities to seal the move to Nkoloma Stadium.
Peter Banda, who also played for Sheriff Tiraspol of Moldova, recently left Singida Big Stars of Tanzania and is expected to beef up Red Arrows, who completed a double by winning the MTN Super League and the ABSA Cup.
His contract is valid until 2026, according to Zambian reports and he is expected to join the team after three weeks when they return from holidays to prepare for the coming season.
The midfielder joins three other Malawians in Zambia, ZANACO due of Robert Saizi and Chawanangwa Kaonga and Chifundo Mphasi of Kabwe Warriors — three national team players who were part of the squad for the Matchday 3 & 4 of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ qualifiers.
