Kazenga LuaLua (born December 10, 1990) is a football player from the Democratic Republic of Congo. He currently plays in England for Newcastle United.
LuaLua moved to England shortly after his birth. He has since progressed in Newcastle United's youth academy, and currently plays for the reserve team. Kazenga was called up to the senior squad for the first time with Newcastle Utd for the 3rd round FA Cup game against Birmingham City on 6 January 2007. At just sixteen years and 27 days old, Kazenga would have been the youngest player to appear in the famous Black and White stripes of Newcastle United had he made it onto the pitch: the record is currently held by Steve Watson.
He was part of the Newcastle United youth team that reached the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup in the 2005-06 season. The team was captained by Paul Huntington, who, like Kazenga, is beginning to make his mark on the first team.
His cousin Lomana LuaLua is also a professional footballer, with Newcastle United being one of his former clubs, and currently plays for Portsmouth.
