AmaZulu are closing in on the signing of highly-rated Horoya AC striker Yakhouba Barry.
The Guinea international who’s been linked with moves to France and Esperance and Wydad in recent times was retained by the club over the past 12 months.
However, iDiski Times understands their recent financial troubles have now forced their hands into allowing him to leave, as reported in Edition 118 of this publication.
With Sede Dion out for three months and Augustine Kwem and Bongi Ntuli misfiring, Usuthu are keen to add further firepower to their attack.
The club’s President Antonio Souaré and Barry are set to arrive in South Africa to potentially conclude a three-year deal with Usuthu subject to his medical check.
Barry comes with a sterling reputation as a former Golden Boot winner in the Guinea Ligue 1 Pro and with 17 senior national team caps, with three goals to his name thus far.
Mamelodi Sundowns outcast Gift Motupa is also among the names being discussed as potential reinforcements but it remains to be seen if they attempt to sign both this window.
