ZIFA lands Mheuka, pursues Liverpool's Nyoni

According to iHarare, Zimbabwe's football association (ZIFA) has secured a commitment from Shumaira Mheuka, a midfielder who previously represented England at youth level, to switch international allegiance to the Warriors. Talks continue with Liverpool youngster Trey Nyoni, a highly rated attacking midfielder, for a senior team call-up ahead of the upcoming AFCON qualifiers. The dual recruitment push aims to strengthen the Warriors' midfield, which has been a weak point in recent matches, as Zimbabwe faces tough opponents in Group E. The moves follow years of losing diaspora talent to other nations, with many players opting for England or South Africa due to better opportunities. Securing Nyoni would mark a major coup for ZIFA, but negotiations remain delicate as Liverpool monitors his development and potential first-team opportunities at Anfield. The recruitment drive signals ZIFA's renewed efforts to tap into the diaspora to improve the national team's competitiveness and end a cycle of missing major tournaments.
