Joseph Sabobo’s future at Alashkert FC has become the subject of transfer speculation, despite the 20-year-old winger already being on the Armenian club’s books.
Data from transfer specialists Transfermarkt lists Sabobo as being linked with a move “from Alashkert FC to Alashkert FC”, an unusual notation that has fuelled talk of a possible contract change or even the prospect of the Zambian becoming a free agent in the near future. The reported probability of the move is left as “?”, underlining that his situation remains unresolved and firmly in the realm of rumour.
Sabobo, valued at €300,000, only recently arrived at Alashkert from Israeli side Hapoel Beer Sheva, having previously been on the books of FC Zürich in Switzerland. With no contract start or end dates recorded, observers have suggested the listing could point to an internal restructuring of his deal, or uncertainty over his long‑term registration with the Armenian Premier League club.
Born in Lusaka on 17 December 2005, the 1.67m right‑footed attacker is noted primarily as a left winger but is part of a growing group of Zambian exports gaining experience across multiple leagues. His career path has already taken him from domestic sides Atletico Lusaka FC, Nkwazi FC and Red Arrows FC to European football with Zürich, followed by a stint in Israel and now Armenia.
There are no official details of a fee or length of any prospective agreement at Alashkert, but his current market valuation of €300k provides a benchmark for any negotiations or potential release scenario. No recent match data – such as opponents, results or individual displays – has been disclosed alongside the latest rumour, leaving clubs and supporters to judge him largely on his trajectory through different competitions.
If this mooted internal move at Alashkert materialises into a clarified contract or a change of status, it could mark a pivotal step in Sabobo’s development and determine whether his next leap is deeper into European football or a return to more familiar surroundings.
