Fashion Sakala Shines in Al-Fayha’s Draw Amid European and Saudi Transfer Interest

Zambian international Fashion Sakala played a decisive role in Al Feiha’s 2-1 victory over Damac in the Saudi Pro League, registering a key assist that helped secure a vital three points for his side. The former Chipolopolo striker featured for the entire 90 minutes and was instrumental in the attacking third, recording a 78% pass completion rate and one key pass. His performance earned him a match rating of 6.7.

The win lifts Al Feiha to 33 points from 30 matches, with a season record of 9 wins, 12 draws, and 11 losses. While it’s been a mixed campaign for the club, Sakala has consistently provided bright moments with his energy and creativity in the final third.

Off the pitch, the 27-year-old forward is now at the center of growing transfer speculation. Sources close to the player suggest that Sakala is weighing two major options: a return to Europe or remaining in Saudi Arabia with a potential move to league giants Al-Nasr.

English Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion and French Ligue 1 outfit LOSC Lille are reportedly keeping tabs on the Al Feiha star, viewing him as a strong addition to bolster their forward lines. Meanwhile, Al-Nasr, one of the Saudi Pro League’s biggest clubs, is said to be keen on acquiring Sakala’s services to enhance their attacking depth.

Having previously featured in Europe for Rangers and KV Oostende, a return to top-tier European football would mark another major chapter in Sakala’s career. However, the allure of continuing in Saudi Arabia, possibly with a title-contending team like Al-Nasr, presents an equally tempting prospect.

As the summer transfer window approaches, Sakala’s next move is expected to draw significant attention both locally and abroad. For now, his focus remains on delivering for Al Feiha as they navigate the final stretch of their league campaign.
