BULAWAYO football giants Highlanders FC are reportedly chasing the signature of former How Mine speedy and skilful winger Timothy January.
January is currently in the books of relegated Bulawayo City.
Bosso chief executive officer Nhlanhla Dube said while there is a need to bolster their squad, their technical department is yet to finalise on the players they will need for next season.
“Maybe Timothy January is the one chasing us. We will hear from our technical department on the final list of the players they will need for next season. They will have to tell us on the changes they will need to make,” said Dube.
Bosso are set to make another addition to their squad with midfielder, Nqobizitha Masuku in line to make a return after a fruitless expedition at Zambia’s Buildcon.
Bosso’s technical manager, Madinda Ndlovu praised Masuku, who has been training with the club since his return from Zambia last month, saying he is a very good player and they are ready to snap him up.
Ndlovu said the player would be a good addition to the squad, particularly in the central midfield position where he plays.
“I would say we are 96 percent close to coming to an agreement with him (Masuku) as you know he is already training with us and as the technical department we are happy with what we have seen. Barring any contractual differences, I am sure he would be part of us next year. He is a good player and we believe he can play a role in our project going forward,” he said.
Masuku (25) together with Devon Chafa and Patson Jaure asked to leave the wealthy Zambian Premiership side last month due to frustration over lack of game time after joining the club at the beginning of the year.
The former FC Platinum midfielder is set to provide additional arsenal to Bosso as Ndlovu boosts his project that began at the start of this season and refocused towards recruiting younger players within the traditional Highlanders source base, mainly its juniors with a few other players coming from outside.
Bosso have already snapped up former Bantu Rovers midfielder, Bukhosi “Zaku” Sibanda on a year-long contract and striker, Prince Dube, who is making a return after struggling to settle at SuperSport and signed a two-year contract.
Ndlovu revealed he was finalising his squad for next season and the axe could fall on several players adding he intends giving all the players a chance to prove their worth as he consolidates his side to perform better next year.
