Bosso looking for a lethal striker

HIGHLANDERS want to reinforce the team in the second transfer-window which opened yesterday for soccer clubs in the country.

Bosso, despite losing two consecutive games in the Castle Lager, are still at the top of the log standings and hope to overcome their mid-season slump.

The Bulawayo giants need urgent solutions to keep their Castle Lager Premier Soccer League campaign on track as their performance of late has been far from convincing losing three consecutive matches. They lost two league matches 0-1 to Chicken Inn at home and 2-1 against Caps United in Harare and at the weekend were knocked out of the BancABC Sup8r competition by FC Platinum.

Last week the Zambian gaffer who still has the backing of the Highlanders executive despite the three consecutive losses, hinted that he was on the lookout for a striker.

Kaindu noted that some of the players will have to be released to make way for new signings.

He could not be drawn into revealing which players the club is targeting.

Last week, the Zambian gaffer was quoted saying; "We have come short upfront but the guys have done well under the circumstances. There is a need to beef up our strikeforce and there are players we have been monitoring and we will have two or so players from the First Division joining us."

Sources close to the technical team said Highlanders are likely to recall their striker Gabriel Nyoni who they had loaned to Zifa Southern Region Division One Soccer League log leaders Bulawayo Chiefs.

Nyoni's pace and skill has seen him score crucial goals for Bulawayo Chiefs who enjoy a seven-point lead over second placed Black Boots.
