This follows his extraordinary performances in South Africa and his proficiency in the national team jersey, which earned him a big-money move to the Germany’s Bundesliga, one of the biggest leagues in the world.

“The 21-year-old attacker, Musona, is full of speed and skill and it comes as no great shock that he has moved to one of world football’s top leagues, with Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga after two prolific years in South Africa. He scored three vital goals for his country in the Nations Cup qualifiers – including a brace and the 90th-minute winner in Zimbabwe’s most impressive victory, a 2-1 reverse of Mali,” the organisation noted in a statement from Zurich ahead of the weekend.

Musona is rated highly alongside Delvin Ndinga (Congo), Wilfried Bony (Côte d’Ivoire), Jordan Ayew (Ghana), Cheikh Diabate (MaliYouseff Al Arabi (Morocco) Moussa Maazou (Niger), Joel Obi (Nigeria) Moussa Sow (Senegal) and South Africa’s Thulani Serero.

Born in Norton, Musona is arguably the biggest talent to emerge from Zimbabwe since Peter Ndlovu in the early 1990s.
