Durban City FC is on the verge of signing Zimbabwean striker Washington Navaya, according to reports. The club's chairman, Farook Kadodia, has been chasing the 28-year-old marksman for some time, and a successful assessment back in July proved Navaya's quality. However, the player has been hesitant to commit, with his focus on concluding the current campaign on home soil. Navaya has scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for TelOne FC and is a front-runner for Zimbabwe's Golden Boot. With the transfer window set to close in ten days, Kadodia is in a desperate bid to persuade Navaya to reconsider his priorities. The chairman told FARPost that the club wants Navaya to join now, but they are also working on a contingency plan. They have turned their attention to Kaizer Chiefs' Tashreeq Morris, with the club keen on securing the lanky striker on a season-long loan. Morris has found himself on the fringes at Chiefs following a significant overhaul of their attacking line. The club's efforts to secure Navaya's signature have been unsuccessful so far, but they remain hopeful. Navaya's goals belong to another league for now, but Durban City FC is determined to add one final, potent piece to their attacking arsenal. The pursuit of a prized striker has become a quiet obsession for the club, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to get their man. With the Betway Premiership season building towards its climax, Kadodia is determined to make a statement. The clock is ticking, and the club's fans are eagerly waiting to see if they can pull off the signing of the season.
