MOTOR Action and Zimbabwe national team midfielder Clement Matawu is one of a host of players being targeted by Dynamos in preparation for the African Champions League next year.

Though Matawu and Dynamos are keeping the deal close to their chests, high placed sources within the club revealed to Zimbabwe Gazette that the pint-sized midfielder had shown interest in joining the most popular team in the land.

“Matawu is high on coach David Mandigora’s wish list and the player is also interest in joining the club. He wants to play in the African Champions League which he thinks can market him to clubs abroad,” said the source.

The source however, revealed that Matawu is not going to come cheap as he is idolized by Motor Action boss Eric Rosen.

“Matawu is regarded highly by Rosen and he is likely to use every trick to hold on to him. Dynamos are still to approach Rosen on the issue, but they will do so soon,” said the source.

Mandigora could only say that he is looking at adding a number of players to the current squad to emulate the class of 1998 that made history by reaching the finals of the African Champions League.

Matawu was in dazzling form last season that saw him winning the 2006 Soccer Star of the Year Award.

This year he had a subdued season that saw him losing the title to Murape Murape of Dynamos.

His team Motor Action survived relegation by a whisker this season.

Among players Dynamos targeting is defender Thomas Svesve who was recently holding trials in Malaysia.

Svesve turned out for the relegated Mwana Africa last season, but is out of contract following the expiry of the contract.

The tough as tick defender has made it open that he wants to join Dynamos if the Malaysian deal fails to materialize.
