Koloti, who has namechecked Allan Wanga as his biggest inspiration, has revealed his targets in an Ingwe shirt this season.

Christopher Koloti has expressed excitement at donning the AFC Leopards shirt for the first time since completing a move to the 12-time league champions.

Koloti joined Leopards from Green Commandos, having also just completed his high school studies, and has committed to a long-term deal at the club.

Koloti has revealed what he will do at the team he considers his “dream club”.

"It's been a childhood dream. I have been scoring goals in school and in the lower league,” Koloti told the club’s media channels upon completing his transfer.

The 19-year-old burly striker scored 21 goals in the last two seasons for Commandos in the FKF Division One Zone B and has revealed he will be looking to carry on the momentum to Leopards.

“I'm looking forward to continuing with this good run.“

Asked about the striker who inspired him the most, Koloti revealed that former goal-getter Allan Wanga - who had a reputation for being in the right place at the right time - inspired him to want to make it at the top level.

"Allan Wanga has been my inspiration."

Head coach Tomas Trucha is delighted to bring Koloti to the side to bolster his attack which has created a reputation for not being particularly clinical.

"He is a young player with a potential for the future. He was scouted from the high school games, and we're happy to acquire him. He is a good acquisition to the club and will bolster our attack."

Koloti's was unveiled right after Leopards’ rivals Gor Mahia successfully secured the signing of Mark Shaban, who had been undergoing training with AFC Leopards.

The transfer saga gained attention when a video, circulating online, showed AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda driving Shaban around among other potential new signings including Koloti, sparking anticipation among Ingwe's fans that the talented forward might join their ranks.
