BARING any late changes to their plans, TelOne says they are satisfied with their business in this window.
The mid-season transfer window period closes on Thursday.
And the Gweru side have made just two additions to their squad.
They signed striker Elton Chikona from Dynamos and midfielder, Nqobizitha Masuku.
The combative midfielder was released by Botswana side Jwaneng Galaxy and was quick to find a new home.
Masuku started on the bench in the Wifi boys’ 2-1 loss to Ngezi Platinum Stars last Saturday.
The Gweru side are in sixth place on the log standings with 37 points, seven behind leaders Simba Bhora.
TelOne coach Hebert Maruwa fancies his side to spring a surprise and clinch the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League title.
And the addition of Masuku, a former Highlanders and FC Platinum midfielder is expected to add depth to the squad ahead of the title run-in.
“We secured the services of Nqobizitha Masuku on a one and half year contract,”said TelOne president Nduwure.
“For now, I think those are our two signings for this window, Masuku and Elton Chikona.
“We believe we have what it takes to compete against anyone for the rest of the season.”
The Gweru side are at home to struggling Manica Diamonds this Saturday.
This weekend’s highlight will be the top of the table clash between FC Platinum and Scottland at Mandava stadium.
There is a great prospect that the two title contenders will cancel each other out, making TelOne’s match against the Mutare side more important than ever.
