The 2024/25 season Carling Knockout Cup winners, Magesi FC are targeting the services of Zimbabwe’s 2024 Golden Boot winner.
Lynoth Chikuhwa of Highlanders FC won Zimbabwe’s Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Golden Boot after scoring 17 goals.
Chikuhwa proved Highlanders FC’s point of difference in a season where they failed to sustain a serious title challenge.
Simba Bhora FC won the 2024 league title. In addition to the Golden Boot, Chikuhwa was the second runner-up for the Player of the Season Award.
Former PSL star Walter Musona was the Player of the Season award winner, while former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs forward Khama Billiat emerged as the first runner-up.
It has emerged that Magesi FC are looking to beef up their attacking department with the veritable goal-getter, Chikuhwa.
Chikuhwa, whose contract with Highlanders FC ends on 31 December, has also been linked with newly promoted Zimbabwean team Scottland FC.
MAGESI FC MAKING SERIOUS ADVANCES FOR LYNOTH CHIKUHWA
A source close to FARPost, revealed that Magesi have been making relentless efforts to lure the striker even though Scottland have the upper hand.
“They have made serious engagements hoping to sign him in January. His contract with Highlanders ends this year and many clubs want him.
“At the moment, it’s uncertain where he wants to be playing, locally or to move out of Zimbabwe. But there has been massive interest in his services,” the source said.
Magesi already have two Zimbabweans in their ranks, goalkeeper and captain Elvis Chipezeze and winger Edmore Chirambadare. The duo were instrumental as Magesi FC rose to be Carling Knockout Cup winners.
They will be hoping to entice the 30-year-old marksman who previously played for Security Systems in Botswana.
Meanwhile, Chikuhwa has often had divided opinion in Zimbabwe as he has been overlooked at the national team level.
