Hapoel Jerusalem Nears Signing of Zambian Forward Edward Chilufya
Hapoel Jerusalem is expected to officially sign Zambian forward Edward Chilufya from Danish club FC Midtjylland this week. The deal is reportedly for one season with an option for an additional year. Chilufya, 26, is seen as a potentially successful acquisition for the club, which has historically sought relatively inexpensive foreign players due to its financial situation.
The signing is considered unusual for Hapoel Jerusalem because Chilufya arrives from a top-tier club in Denmark, a higher profile than the team typically attracts. His expected salary is around 150,000 euros net plus bonuses.
Chilufya, who can play as a striker or on the wing, is compared stylistically to former Hapoel Jerusalem player J'Vaughn Whyte. The club hopes he will bring much-needed presence, impact, and experience to the current squad.
