Orlando Pirates are apparently looking at Zimbabwean forward Washington Navaya. The striker, who just won Zimbabwe's Soccer Star of the Year award, is currently with the national team preparing for the upcoming AFCON tournament. His agent, Gilbert Sengwe, confirmed interest from one of South Africa's big clubs, but said all transfer talks are on hold until after the tournament finishes.
Navaya's performances have drawn attention from several teams, including clubs within Zimbabwe. The Pirates have a noted history of scouting Zimbabwean talent, having previously monitored another forward, Daniel Msendami. Scouts have been watching Navaya, seeing him as a potential key signing for any squad needing attacking power.
The player's camp is prioritizing his national team duties for now, with his agent stating negotiations will only resume once he returns from AFCON. This leaves any potential move to the Buccaneers, or another interested club, in a temporary holding pattern until the continental competition concludes.
