Bafana Bafana striker Dino Ndlovu says there is a good chance that he will leave Cypriot First Division side Anorthosis Famagusta next month.

If reports are anything to go by, there is interest in him from Poland, France, Serbia, Czech Republic and Turkey.

There are three Polish teams reportedly after the striker's signature in Silesia, Wroclaw and Wisla Krakow, while Czech Republic's Sparta Prague and Turkey's Sivasspor are also said to be in the mix.

The interest in Ndlovu has been sparked by his fine form this season, his 18 goals in 32 games for Famagusta making him the league's second-highest goalscorer.

"Yeah, it is real. It feels good to hear these kinds of things because it shows that my work this year didn't go unnoticed," he said from Cyprus yesterday.

"To be honest, I'm not just thinking of Poland and I will move to where I feel that they will pay me what I'm worth. My next contract has to be good for me and my family... I'm putting myself first and it depends on who comes with a better contract. There is a lot of interest everywhere. I'm 26 and I need to get a good contract for the next three to four years," Ndlovu said.

Anorthosis' original contract with Ndlovu expires at the end of next month, but the club has a two-year option to extend it and Ndlovu feels they are likely to take it up with a view to cashing in.

" I won't move for free - that is highly impossible," he confirmed.

Ndlovu helped Anorthosis to finish third in the regular season, and the top six teams are wrapping up the championship round with Anorthosis in fifth place.
