According to the reports, the duo who are contracted to German fourth-tier club VfB Lubeck, will undergo two-week trials at Sundowns.
Sundowns are said to have written a letter to the players’ representative inviting the young players for trials at the club.
The letter, dated July 5, 2019, reads in part:
We confirm that the above-mentioned youth soccer players have been invited by us to attend trials at our club for a period of approximately 14 days with immediate effect to travel to South Africa on the 12th of July 2019.
They will be responsible for their own flights/bus and Sundowns FC will be responsible for their accommodation, transport and meals for the duration of their stay in South Africa.
The two youngsters were part of the Zimbabwe Under-23 side that beat Mozambique 2-0 on aggregate in the 2019 Under-23 Afcon qualifier in March.
