TelOne striker Washington Navaya scored seven goals in seven games this season. His hot start has fans wondering if he can reach records set years ago. Moses Chunga holds the all-time mark with 30 goals in 1986. Norman Maroto scored 22 goals for the Gunners in 2010, the last player to pass 20 goals in a season. Several players came close with 17 or 18 goals but never broke through.
Navaya stands 1.81m tall with an unusual but effective style that troubles defenders. He played for TelOne during their 2019 season before joining Highlanders when the team went down. He returned this year under coach Herbert Maruwa as part of a rebuilt squad. The team sits fifth in the league standings with 11 points. They face the Highlanders today at Ascot Stadium.
Navaya won Player of the Month honors for March from both the Premier Soccer League and Footballers Union of Zimbabwe. Highlanders coach Kelvin Kaindu believes his defense can stop the league's top scorer. Other players trail far behind with just three or four goals each this season.
