Denmark-based flop ponders Dembare move

DENMARK-BASED talented young midfielder Tanaka Chinyahara could make a surprise move to Harare giants Dynamos in a bid to revive his career after falling out of favour at Danish 1st Division side Hobro IK.

The 21-year-old player will be out of contract at Hobro IK in June after spending the remainder of last season on loan at Danish second division side Jammerbugt FC.

Chinyahara, who is currently in the country, has been training with Dynamos, fuelling speculation that he could be eyeing a possible move to the Glamour Boys.

While sources close to the player say Dynamos coach Lloyd Mutasa is considering a short-term move for the player when his current contract comes to an end, Chinyahara, however, refused to talk about a possible move to the domestic league.

Instead, he said his decision to train with Dynamos was just to maintain his fitness levels during the Danish offseason break.

"I decided to train with Dynamos because it's a big club whose style of play is just the same as that of Hobro IK. Furthermore, Dynamos' style of play is so competitive such that this will also keep me fit and focused," he said.

Chinyahara, who joined Hobro IK from South African club Bidvest Wits, has struggled for game time at Hobro IK, making only five appearances in the last season. Three of these were in the league, while the remaining two matches were in the DBU Cup.

Chinyahara, who is yet to feature in the domestic topflight league, made a big break into the European leagues when he signed for Hobro IK in 2015.

The club is also home to veteran former Warriors striker Quincy Antipas and young forward Nigel Ndlovu, while CAPS United defender Ronald-PFumbidzayi had a short stint at the club almost two years ago.

Meanwhile, Dynamos will be desperate to record their first win of the new campaign at the Colliery this afternoon.

But it is their dreadful recent record against their hosts Hwange which is a cause for concern for the Harare giants.

The Glamour Boys have not beaten Hwange in the last seven league matches dating back to May 2013 where they won 2-0 in Harare.

The Lloyd Mutasa-coached side had laboured to five draws and two defeats, both defeats coming at the Colliery.

Dynamos have collected a single point from their opening two matches of the season and Mutasa is aware any further slip-ups could sour his relationship with the team's demanding fans.
