South Africa Transfer News: Knox Mtizwa Targeted by Highlanders, Telone
South Africa's Knox Mtizwa is reportedly in talks with Highlanders and Telone, two top clubs in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League. The striker, who previously played for Golden Arrows, is looking to secure a move to one of the two teams.
What happened?
Mtizwa, who recently returned to Zimbabwe after spending almost a decade playing in South Africa, had initially looked set to join Triangle United. However, the proposed move collapsed, and the striker is now in talks with Highlanders and Telone.
Why it matters for South Africa
Mtizwa's potential move to one of the two clubs could be a significant boost for South Africa's national team. The striker has established himself as one of the most prolific forwards in the Betway Premiership, starring for Golden Arrows and netting 63 goals in 231 appearances.
What comes next?
Should a move to Highlanders materialise, it would mark a second spell at the Bulawayo giants for Mtizwa, who previously featured for the club before moving to South Africa. The striker remains the Durban club's all-time leading scorer in South Africa's top-flight league.
