Dynamos head coach Aristica Cioaba has made Khama Billiat one of his priority targets for the 2027 season, while Scottland FC are reported to be closing in on the signing of Dynamos forward Frank Agyemang.

The developments could reshape the attacking line-ups of several leading Castle Lager Premier Soccer League clubs. Billiat’s Scottland contract is due to expire in December, and he has been linked with a move to Hardrock FC. Dynamos have now publicly expressed their interest in the Zimbabwe international. Agyemang, meanwhile, is understood to have signed a pre-contract with Scottland ahead of the expiry of his Dynamos deal.

Neither move changes the immediate focus for the players’ current clubs, who are finishing the 2026 campaign. But the prospect of losing established forwards, and the chance to add experienced attackers, has made the close season a significant period for recruitment.

Cioaba revealed his interest in Billiat after Dynamos beat Manica Diamonds 1-0 at Rufaro Stadium in Harare. The result lifted the Glamour Boys to fourth place with one league fixture remaining. The coach said the club would need to bring in quality if it hoped to challenge for the championship next year.

“We want to have quality players in the squad. I would like to bring Khama Billiat from Scottland and Prince Dube from Hardrock. If I manage to bring such players with that quality, I think I can possibly fight for the championship next year,” he said.

Billiat is not the only forward Cioaba wants to recruit. He also identified Hardrock striker Prince Dube as a target, making clear that Dynamos are looking at players who have already made an impact in the domestic league. The coach’s comments put the responsibility on the club to pursue his wish list as it prepares for the 2027 season.

The challenge for Dynamos is that Billiat has attracted interest from more than one club. He is reportedly expected to join Hardrock when his Scottland contract expires at the end of December. Reports have also said that an agreement for a move to the Kwekwe-based side has been reached. That would place Hardrock in a strong position, although Dynamos’ public interest has added another possible destination to the picture.

Billiat joined Scottland in 2025 after leaving Yadah. The forward’s current contract is set to run until the end of December 2026, bringing the timing of his next move into focus as the season reaches its conclusion. Hardrock are leading the league table and are seeking to strengthen their squad for another campaign at the top end of Zimbabwean football.

The clubs’ contrasting positions make the transfer story particularly relevant. Hardrock are chasing the title and looking to build a squad capable of sustaining their progress, while Dynamos are planning a push to improve on their current fourth-place position. A move for Billiat would therefore be about more than adding a familiar name: Cioaba has presented him as one of the players he believes can help close the gap between Dynamos and the leading contenders.

Billiat has remained involved in Scottland’s title run-in. The club beat Herentals 4-0 at Rufaro Stadium, with Billiat among the scorers. The win kept Scottland in contention after Hardrock were held to a goalless draw by Simba Bhora. Hardrock remained two points ahead with one match to play, leaving the title race open going into the final round.

Scottland’s victory over Herentals featured goals from Kingsley Mureremba, Knowledge Musona, Kwakhe Thwala and Billiat. The result gave the defending champions a strong finish to the penultimate round and ensured that the title was not decided before the final fixtures. Hardrock still controlled its own fate: a win over FC Platinum would secure the championship, while Scottland needed to beat Triangle United and for Hardrock to drop points.

Those results underline why Billiat’s future has become a prominent issue for both Scottland and the clubs linked with him. He is still contributing to his current team’s campaign, even as attention turns to what might happen after his contract ends. For Scottland, retaining him would preserve an experienced attacking option; for a rival, signing him would bring in a player with a long record in top-level football.

Dynamos’ interest also comes as the club considers the possibility of losing players of its own. Agyemang is expected to leave when his current agreement expires in December, with Scottland reportedly in pole position to secure him. The Ghanaian striker is understood to have signed a pre-contract with the Mabvuku-based club, which would allow the move to take place ahead of the 2027 season.

CAPS United had also been interested in Agyemang and were reported to have engaged him over a possible transfer. That move did not materialise, leaving Scottland as the leading candidate for his signature. If the expected switch goes through, Agyemang will move from Dynamos to a club that is already pursuing Billiat, one of the forwards Dynamos’ coach wants to bring in.

Agyemang’s departure would be a notable change for Dynamos’ attack. The club would lose a forward who has been part of its squad during the current campaign, at a time when Cioaba is asking for more quality to mount a stronger challenge next season. The transfer situation places recruitment on both sides of the ledger: Dynamos are looking to strengthen, but could also need to replace a player leaving at the end of his deal.

Scottland’s reported pursuit of Agyemang would add another forward to a squad already competing for the title. The club has begun work on strengthening for next season, and the possible arrival of a striker from Dynamos would signal that its plans are not limited to the immediate championship race. Agyemang’s move would also continue the club’s effort to secure players whose contracts are approaching their end.

For Dynamos, the next stage is to turn Cioaba’s stated ambition into an effective transfer plan. His comments identified Billiat and Dube as players he would like, while the potential exit of Agyemang creates a separate need to address. The coach has set out the level of talent he wants, but the moves depend on negotiations, player decisions and the club’s ability to assemble its squad for the new season.

The interest in Billiat and the reported agreement involving Agyemang remain different kinds of transfer developments. Cioaba has openly named Billiat as a target, while Agyemang is understood to have committed to a future move to Scottland. Billiat, in turn, has been linked with Hardrock as his Scottland deal runs down. Each situation is connected by the same approaching contract deadline, but the players’ destinations are not settled on the same terms.

With the 2026 campaign approaching its final fixture, the decisions made over the coming weeks could have a lasting effect on the balance of the league next season. Dynamos want a stronger squad to challenge for the title. Hardrock are seeking to build on their position at the top, and Scottland are preparing for another campaign while pushing to retain the title race to the end. Billiat and Agyemang are now central to those plans, with their next moves likely to be among the most closely watched transfer developments of the Zimbabwean off-season.
