Nyasha Mushekwi targets January move

NYASHA Mushekwi is looking out for a January transfer window move but Mamelodi Sundowns remain keen on extending his contract which expires at the end of the season.

Mushekwi has been stuck at Sundowns since returning injured from his loan spell at Belgium club KV Oostende, with the PSL champions choosing not to register him for this season due to foreign quota issues.

Apparently Sundowns want to make sure that if Mushekwi leaves in January then they will already have enticed him into an extension stretching beyond his current deal with the club.

There is apparently interest in the Zimbabwean striker who is back ready to play again in the New Year with a January transfer window exit his immediate target.

Two Gauteng-based PSL clubs are sniffing around for his services for the January transfer window while another two – outside Gauteng – are willing to commit into pre-contracts for next season considering that he is out of contract with Sundowns in June.

The two clubs outside Gauteng have already exhausted their foreign quotas for this season and can only register him for next term. However, the two Gauteng clubs have the foreign space and can use him right away when the League resumes in February.

The option of possibly returning to Belgium remains alive for the 27-year-old, who has an impressive strike rate of 40 goals in 53 starts for The Brazilians.

“Nyasha just comes to Chloorkop every morning to train in the gym with his homeboy Method Mwanjali who is also caught up in the same situation,” said a source.

“It is so demoralising for them because no one appears to be interested in them as they don’t even get to kick the ball with the first team players as they are completely out of the picture. It is really depressing when you have to do this same routine for six months and you can see they are not enjoying this from the look on their faces.

“The contract is what keeps them at the club so they have to check in every morning otherwise if they don’t then they will be slapped with fines and not get their salaries in full.” KickOff.com
