The Zimbabwe national team will monitor the form of Kaizer Chiefs striker Ranga Chivaviro ahead of a potential future call-up.
The 31-year-old South African-born forward is eligible to play for the Warriors due to his father and as a result of never having played for Bafana Bafana.
He caught the attention of Zimbabwe coach Michael Nees following his form for Marumo Gallants, where he scored 17 goals in 30 games in all competitions in the 22/23 season.
While he netted just four times in 23 outings last term, Chivaviro has bagged two goals already this season in just three games.
Nees, however, admits that while he will keep an eye on the player, he has a number of striker candidates to choose from.
“We have a long list of players, we’re interested in every good player, but we also have good players here,” Nees said.
“We’ll observe everybody and when the time is right we’ll make a decision if we approach someone or not, it’s not just because someone plays at Kaizer Chiefs.
“Last year Chiefs were in the 10th spot and he had four goals I think. But yet before he had a very good time [with Marumo Gallants], we observe every player but we must also praise our players who are here, who played very good and scored three goals.
“We have a long list but it’s not just to bring in, bring in [more players], they must really add value, but that doesn’t mean I don’t rate his quality right, he had a very good time at his previous club and started this season on a very high [note], we will look [at him].”
