In the summer 2007 he joined again Legia Warszawa, joining up with fellow Zimbabwean national Dickson Choto.[1] Takesure became the first non-European joint top scorer in the first Polish division (Ekstraklasa). Takesure Chinyama joined Legia Warsaw where there were already his two fellow countrymen: Herbert Dick and Dickson Choto.
