Durban City FC Table Offer for Zimbabwean Striker Washington Navaya After Impressive Trial
Betway Premiership newcomers Durban City FC are making bold moves to strengthen their squad — and Zimbabwean striker Washington Navaya is firmly in their sights.
The 27-year-old TelOne FC forward, who currently sits at the top of the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League scoring charts with 11 goals from 23 matches, recently underwent a four-day assessment with Durban City. According to sources close to the player, the South African side tabled a lucrative offer shortly after the trial.
TelOne Keen to Cash In as Contract Winds Down
A source at TelOne FC confirmed to FARPost that the club is open to letting Navaya go, given that he has just four months left on his contract.
“He was outstanding during his assessment,” said the source. “Durban City were impressed and sent an offer almost immediately.”
Despite the interest, Navaya — affectionately known as “The Navigator” — has reportedly cooled off on the move, and insiders say he’s been unenthusiastic about finalising the deal.
