Highlanders panic as transfer window opens and goal drought drags on

Highlanders bosses have had enough of their team's goal drought and are scrambling to sign new players. The Bulawayo giants have failed to score in their last three matches while picking up just one point from nine available. Acting chief executive Kindman Ndlovu admits the club leadership feels frustrated with the poor performances. The team desperately needs fresh faces during the mid-season transfer window. Coach Try Ncube has already submitted his shopping list to the boardroom.

Club sources reveal Ncube wants at least two strikers and one attacking midfielder to fix the scoring problems. The current squad lacks firepower up front and struggles to create chances for the forwards. Mid-season deals prove tricky because most players remain locked into contracts with their current teams. Highlanders must pay premium prices to pry targets away from rival clubs. The recruitment drive continues despite the financial challenges ahead.

Ncube still enjoys backing from the club hierarchy despite the recent slump in results. Ndlovu confirmed the coaching structure remains in place for the remainder of the campaign. Several local and foreign coaches have sent unsolicited job applications to the club offices. The board will consider changes only if the situation gets worse. Meanwhile transfer activity heats up across the Premier Soccer League with multiple clubs chasing reinforcements.
