The 2026 Absa Cup Champions and Super League Runners Up, Red Arrows Football Club have bolstered their attacking ranks with the capture of a highly rated Congolese striker John Pweto Kanyembo, who has signed a three year contract with the Airmen.
The 20 year old joins from FC Saint Pierre after an impressive spell with Congolese giants FC Saint Éloi Lupopo, where he announced himself as one of Linafoot’s brightest young forwards.
Pweto found the back of the net 14 times last season, combining physical strength, aerial dominance and clinical finishing to become a constant menace for opposition defences.
His outstanding performances earned him call ups to the DR Congo CHAN squad and the DR Congo Under-20 national team, which underlines his growing reputation as one of the country’s most exciting attacking prospects.
The towering frontman also sampled continental football with Lupopo in the CAF Champions League, holding his own against CAF heavyweights Espérance de Tunis and Orlando Pirates, experiences that have moulded him into a more complete striker. Known for his commanding presence in the box, relentless work rate and eye for goal.
Pweto is expected to inject fresh firepower into the Red Arrows attack as the Airmen prepare for the new campaign. The runway is set and the Airmen have a new marksman on board.
