Despite capturing striker Rodrick Mutuma last week, Highlanders head coach Erol Akbay is seeking one more gunman.
Akbay said he is almost done with his 2017 trusted players to deliver the title.
" We're almost done with the 2017 squad and what we need now is just a striker to complete our team. There are a few strikers that I'm still looking at. I need someone who will understand our high tempo game and also give us another dimension when attacking," Akbay is quoted saying by the Chronicle.
Equatorial Guinea striker Manuel Esono Obiang Buale (23) is currently training with Highlanders.
According to Akbay, Buale "is a very good player who is strong but not fast".
"The striker from Equatorial Guinea is a very good player, strong but not fast. Sometimes you need a striker who is not necessarily fast, but can use his strength to score or create.
"We haven"t made up our minds about the striker or any that are still training with us as we need more time to look at them before coming up with a decision," added the Dutchman who finished third on his first season in Zimbabwe.
Bosso finished the 2016 season as the second highest scoring team with 41 goals, one behind league champions Caps United.
