HIGHLANDERS vice-captain Gabriel Nyoni is being stalked by Caps United and Ngezi Platinum Stars as he drags his feet on signing a new contract with Bosso.

The 26-year-old had one of his best seasons at Highlanders this year where he scored six goals.
Nyoni’s contract with Highlanders expires at the end of the month and he is unlikely to renew the deal as he has set his sights elsewhere.
Nyoni, a marketing degree holder from the National University of Science and Technology in Bulawayo, is said to have got a job in Harare in his field of study, which makes it logical and plausible for him to join the Green Machine.
Yesterday, the Highlanders striker said he would do what is best for him, with Bosso also an option.
“I don’t know as yet (where I will be). I am just holding onto the offers. Moving or not moving, I will just choose the best offer for my future,” Nyoni said.
Competition will be stiff in the Highlanders strike force in the upcoming season, with the Bulawayo giants having brought in Tinashe Makanda in mid-season.
