French football club Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon) has decided to loan Zimbabwean striker Tino Kadewere to another French Ligue 1 team, Nantes, until the end of the season on January 4, 2024. Lyon has also included a purchase option in the loan agreement, which means they can acquire a 25% interest if Kadewere is sold to another club in the future. The loan deal allows Kadewere to play for Nantes until June 30, 2024. Said the club in a statement:
<blockquote>
Joining the club in July 2020 from Le Havre, the 26-year-old Zimbabwean international forward, who was on loan last season at Mallorca, has played 64 matches with OL, scoring 11 goals.
Olympique Lyonnais wishes Tino a successful second half of the season; he remains under contract with the club until June 30, 2025.
</blockquote>
A statement on Nantes’ official website reads:
<blockquote>
FC Nantes and Olympique Lyonnais have reached an agreement for the loan – with option to purchase – of Tino Kadewere (27 years old), until the end of the 2023-2024 season.
</blockquote>
Kadewere said after signing the loan deal, as cited on the website:
<blockquote>
I am proud and really happy to be here, in Nantes. It’s a new year, a new challenge and we are going to attack with great ambitions.
The idea is to give everything to help the team. I would like to thank the Club for the trust placed in it. I know the Stade de La Beaujoire well, a place that I really like (smile).
There is a superb atmosphere and I am impatient to play in front of the Nantes supporters.
</blockquote>
Kadewere will now wear jersey number 15 while playing for Nantes. He initially had a good start in Ligue 1 when he joined Lyon from Le Havre and played alongside talented players like Memphis Depay. Unfortunately, he faced injuries that affected his performance and caused him to lose his form and confidence. Even his time at Mallorca couldn’t help him regain his form as he got injured again just before making his debut in La Liga. Now, he has returned to France but is still struggling to find his best form this season.

Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon) Loan Tino Kadewere To Nantes

Warriors striker <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Tino_Kadewere">Tino Kadewere</a> has saluted Zimbabweans based in Rwanda who came in large numbers to support the national team during the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers played at at Huye Stadium in Butare.
Zimbabwe played Rwanda at Huye Stadium on 15 November and the match ended 0-0.
Four days later, the Warriors hosted the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the same venue as Zimbabwe does not have a stadium that meets CAF standards. The match ended 1-1.
The Sunday News reported Kadewere as saying that Zimbabweans based in Rwanda who cheered the team in both matches created an atmosphere associated with playing at the National Sports Stadium in Harare, and made the Warriors feel at home. Said Kadewere:
<blockquote>
We never felt away from home. These guys have been amazing. When we heard that we would play both our games in Rwanda, we thought we would miss everything, like the atmosphere associated with playing at the National Sports Stadium. But we were wrong. These guys made us feel at home. We salute them.
</blockquote>
Butare is located about 126 kilometres south-west of Kigali, the Rwandan capital.
The road trip from Kigali to Butare takes about three hours, as the road passes through many hills, and vehicles travel at a maximum speed of 60 kilometres per hour. The trip costs RF2 500 (around US$2).
Many Zimbabweans were ready to endure the six-hour round trips to back the Warriors.
Diana Marerwa, a primary school teacher living in Keza, on the outskirts of Kigali, has been living in Rwanda for the past 25 years.
She was among among the hordes of Zimbabweans based in Rwanda who attended both games. Said Marerwa:
<blockquote>
I am a teacher based in Kigali. Once we heard that Zimbabwe would play two games here, we started mobilising each other so that we could attend the games.
I am very happy that I managed to attend both games. Our players were also very happy to see us rallying behind them.
It motivated them a lot, and we hope to see more of this, not just in football, but in other sports, here, for they are guaranteed support.
</blockquote>
Kidson Chiworera who works in Mwanza, said that the Warriors matches enabled him to physically meet with his virtual compatriots. He said:
<blockquote>
Of course, we came here for both games to show our support for the national team, but this was also an opportunity for us to meet physically with Zimbabweans who are based in this country.
We talk to each other on social media and the phone, but this was an opportunity for us to meet in person.
That’s why you saw us hugging and jumping before these games.
We were actually celebrating being together, physically, for the first time.
We are one big community and we love each other. That is why it was never difficult for us to come together and say guys, let’s go and rally behind our Warriors.
</blockquote>
The Zimbabweans appeared to outnumber the Rwandans in the first game and also sang famous songs such as “Yave nyama yekugocha” and “Vakomana vekwedu” which created a home atmosphere for the Warriors.

Kadewere Salutes Zimbabweans Based In Rwanda For Creating "Home" Atmosphere At Warriors Matches

<a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Tino_Kadewere">Tino Kadewere</a> has said the Warriors have the quality to stand toe to toe with the Super Eagles of Nigeria as the two nations clash in a Group C FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifier at Huye Stadium in Rwanda this Sunday.
The match kicks off at 3 PM.
The Sunday Mail reported the Lyon player as saying the Warriors will consider the game “a cup final” and will draw inspiration from their last match against Nigeria which ended 1-1. Said Kadewere.
<blockquote>
The last time we played against Nigeria, the match ended 1-1, and we take that as a positive.
Of course, they are counted as one of the biggest teams in Africa, but we don’t want to put that into our minds.
We have to go into the pitch telling ourselves that it’s a cup final; we need to do everything to get this victory for ourselves and the nation. We should do our best.
We all know Nigeria; they have a very good squad.
Of course, they have a few players missing, like Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze, but they still have a very good squad.
We don’t need to focus on those missing; we have to focus on those who are there.
We should try to put our minds in the game and take it as a final.
We should try and make sure that we don’t sit back; we have to push forward to get the victory.
It’s not going to be easy, but we need to throw more than 100 percent into this game.
</blockquote>
Nigeria’s only loss in seven meetings with Zimbabwe came in an international friendly in August 1981, reported Daily Nigerian.
Since then, the Super Eagles have claimed four wins and two draws, including an aggregate 8-1 win across two legs during the qualifiers for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Julius Aghahowa and Yakubu Aiyegbeni scored as Nigeria secured a 0-3 victory at the National Sports Stadium in Harare.
A brace from Obafemi Martins and a Nwankwo Kanu penalty were among the goals as Nigeria completed the job with a 5-1 triumph in Abuja in the return leg.

It's Like A Cup Final, Kadewere Says Warriors Not Afraid Of Nigeria

Zimbabwean international footballer Marvelous Nakamba, who is in the country for the season break, has invited his Aston Villa teammates to experience Victoria Falls to market Zimbabwe as a tourism destination.
The waterfall is a popular attraction for tourists from all over the world, contributing significantly to Zimbabwe’s gross domestic product. Speaking about the invite to his teammates, Nakamba said:
<blockquote>
I am excited to be back home and looking forward to the projects that I have with the (Marvelous Nakamba) Foundation lined up. As you know the foundation is all about the youths as we try to support them in all possible ways we can be it academic, sport, or skills transfer, we are all about their empowerment and capacitation so that they reach their full potential.
Besides the Foundation I am also excited to be hosting my teammates from Aston Villa. I’m proud of my country hence I marketed Zimbabwe, especially Victoria Falls to my teammates at Aston Villa. John McGinn is coming in tomorrow and I’m expecting the other players to come in later on during the week. This is good for business and also for me as people will now know that Zimbabwe is a beautiful and safe place to visit.
</blockquote>
Nakamba, who has been transfer-listed by Aston Villa, is expected to seal a permanent move to Luton town, where he played a vital role in their promotion to the English Premier League.
Zimbabwean sportspersons, including Marvelous Nakamba and Tino Kadewere, have been promoting Zimbabwean tourism. In 2021, Kadewere, a Zimbabwe Tourism Authority ambassador, enlisted Olympique Lyon teammates to promote the country, resulting in a video shared on social media. The video encouraged people to visit Zimbabwe and was shared by the ZTA and Lyon on Twitter. Kadewere was appointed tourism ambassador after meeting President Emmerson Mnangagwa at the State House in 2020.

Marvelous Nakamba Invites Aston Villa Teammates To Visit Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls

Warriors forward Tino Kadewere vomited in Real Mallorca’s dressing room on Sunday after suffering from a heat stroke.
The incident occurred during a La Liga match pitting Real Mallorca against Real Sociedad.
Kadewere (27) did not return for the second half but was rushed to the hospital.
Making his fourth start for the La Liga club following his loan move from Lyon, Kadewere had played the entire first half before the halftime incident.
On Monday Kadewere told <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/tino-vomits-in-dressing-room-scare/">H-Metro</a> that he was feeling better and was awaiting results. He said:
<blockquote>
I am feeling much better today (yesterday). I am still at the hospital and might be going back home soon.
It was really hot and I think I was also catching a fever, so it got worse.
Right now I’m just waiting for the results.
If the tests are good, and also it depends on how I will be feeling, then we will know when I will be back.
</blockquote>
Mallorca coach, Javier Aguirre, said he was forced to substitute Kadewere for Abdón Prats. He said:
<blockquote>
I had planned to stretch Kadewere a little more and have him have more minutes, but he was not successful in the game and, with the heat stroke at half-time, he began to vomit and the change was natural.
</blockquote>
Kadewere has so far scored twice in his 13 appearances across all competitions in this campaign.

Kadewere Discharged From Hospital After Suffering Heatstroke

Warriors star Tino Kadewere became the first ever Zimbabwean to score in LaLiga, when he opened his account for Real Mallorca in their 4-2 win over Villarreal yesterday. 
The Highfield-bred striker,  who is loan from French side Olympque Lyon, has been progressing well for the Javier Aguirre-coached side since recovering from injury. 
Yesterday, in his first start Laliga start for Mallorca,  Kadewere needed just 20 minutes to get off the mark.
A mistake by Villarreal goalkeeper Pepe Reina saw Vedat Muriqi getting the ball in the box before squaring it for Kadewere,  who tapped home from close range.
Mallorca got their other goals from Muriqi and a double from Dani Rodríguez while Villarreal replied through José Luis Morales and Samuel Chukwueze.

Kadewere Makes History

Zimbabwe international forward Tino Kadewere is set to make his La Liga debut for Real Mallorca when his side takes on Getafe tomorrow evening.
Kadewere made a loan move from French side Lyon to the Spanish topflight league side four months ago as he became the first Zimbabwean in La Liga.
But his debut would take longer to come after he suffered an injury that kept him on the sidelines for a lengthy period.
However, the 26-year-old striker is 100% fit for the trip to Getafe and has enjoyed some good form for Los Bermellones (The Vermilions) in friendly matches during the World Cup break.
He made his comeback from injury in a Copa del Rey match against a lower league side and managed to score on debut in a 6-0 win away from home just before the World Cup break.
Kadewere netted a hat-trick for Mallorca in his next game, a friendly match where his side triumphed 4-1 over fifth-tier side UD Poblense to mark his first starting appearance since arriving at the club.
Two weeks ago, the former Harare City man started again when Mallorca hosted Italian Serie A side Bologna at the Estadi Son Bibiloni in a friendly match which ended in a 2-1 defeat for the home side.
Last week, Kadewere was a 77th-minute substitute replacing 21-year-old South Korean winger Lee Kang-in in a 1-0 Copa del Rey victory over Real Union.
According to the Spanish publication Marca, Kadewere has scored six goals in six matches, including four friendlies and two Copa del Rey assignments.
Coach Javier Aguirre could be tempted to start Kadewere ahead of in-form Kosovo international striker Vedat Muriqi, who has scored eight goals in 12 matches this season.
Ángel Rodríguez and Abdón Prats complete Aguirre’s options upfront.
But it is expected that Kadewere will make his debut from the bench tomorrow.

Zimbabwean Striker Tino Kadewere Set To Make His La Liga Debut

Warriors striker Tinotenda Kadewere scored during his debut for Real Mallorca on Saturday. 
Kadewere came on as a second-half substitute in Mallorca’s 6-0 win over CD Autol in the Copa Del Rey encounter.
He scored the team’s sixth goal in the 88th minute, sealing the victory which sent them into the second round of the knockout tournament, according to <a href="https://www.soccer24.co.zw/2022/11/12/debut-delight-kadewere-scores-on-his-real-mallorca-debut/?fbclid=IwAR2AqiQ3-WqtpzyTMb89KJD5aduJpJAr3m-2t4xYiG9juOAHsZNPpOgsLr0">Soccer24 Zimbabwe</a>.
The match was Kadewere’s first appearance almost three months after making the switch to the Spanish top-flight side from French club Lyon on a season-long loan deal.
The Warriors international was supposed to make his debut in early September when Mallorca played Real Madrid but a muscle injury kept him out for several weeks.
He returned to action earlier in the month but was an unused substitute in Mallorca’s two previous games in La Liga.

Real Mallorca Says Tino Kadewere Is Back In Training

Zimbabwean footballer, Tinotenda Kadewere, will no longer go under the knife after the doctors at his parent club Olympique Lyon and Spanish club Real Mallorca recommended conservative treatment for his injured right thigh.
The 26-year-old, who is on a season-long loan to Real Mallorca, suffered a serious injury to the quadriceps of his right leg on the eve of a match against La Liga reigning champions Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu two weeks ago.
Initial reports had suggested that Kadewere would require surgery after his injury setback but doctors ruled that it is not necessary.
In a statement which was widely quoted in the Spanish media yesterday, Kadewere will no longer undergo surgery. Reported Spanish newspaper Dario on Wednesday:
<blockquote>
The doctors of Real Mallorca and Olympique de Lyon have agreed to apply a conservative treatment to cure the injury to the quadriceps of the right leg suffered by striker Tino Kadewere.
Since the player is owned by Olympique Lyon, which sent him on loan to the Balearic team, Kadewere travelled to France to undergo an assessment by the French club’s doctors, who now, in agreement with the Real Mallorca doctors, have ruled that the best option is to resort to conservative treatment and, therefore, the striker does not go through the operating room.
In any case, the expected period for the recovery of the player was the same going through the operating room or taking the conservative treatment option that has finally been chosen.
</blockquote>
Kadewere is expected to begin training in December, that is if his recovery process goes according to plan. | <a href="https://newsday.co.zw/sport/article/200000820/kadewere-advised-against-surgery">NewsDay</a>

Club Doctors Advise Tino Kadewere Against Surgery

Warriors forward Tinotenda Kadewere is set to become the first Zimbabwean footballer to play in La Liga if he joins Real Mallorca as expected.
The 26-year-old was spotted at the Palma de Mallorca Airport with his family on Sunday.
Kadewere is in Spain for his scheduled medical today before completing his switch from French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyon to Mallorca.
He will spend the entire 2022/23 season on loan at the Spanish side.
Mallorca made an offer last week to take the striker on board and a deal, which has a buy option of €10m, is expected to be announced soon.
Kadewere missed Lyon’s 1-1 draw in the Ligue 1 on Sunday as he prepared for his transfer to Spain.

Kadewere Arrives In Spain Ahead Of A Move To Real Mallorca

Warriors forward Tinotenda Kadewere’s poor form during the 2021/22 season in the French Ligue 1 may have partly been caused by a delay in the payment of his wages.
According to French publication L’Équipe, the situation was eventually resolved and the player was paid the €200 000 he was owed by his club, Lyon.
Another French publication www.getfootballnewsfrance.com wrote:
<blockquote>
L’Équipe’s lengthy dissection of Lyon’s shambolic season notably claims that the club only partly paid striker Tino Kadewere’s wages while he was injured.
The Zimbabwean forward, who has been with the club since 2020, was reportedly owed over €200 000 in unpaid wages by the club, having been sidelined in September and had trouble over the winter months.
Kadewere has struggled to return to action as a result of this episode which affected him greatly, scoring just one goal this season in 15 appearances.
The situation was eventually resolved and the player was paid, after a lengthy delay.
L’Équipe points out that Kadewere is one of the Lyon players to have essentially given up this season, as has been the case with defender Jason Denayer in light of the news that he would not be offered an extension.
</blockquote>
The Zimbabwean international also struggled to make an impact at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations finals that were held in January and February 2022. 
Kadewere failed to score a single goal at AFCON while his Lyon teammate and Cameroonian winger Karl Toko Ekambi scored 5 goals.

"Salary Payment Delays Affected Kadewere"

France-based Warriors striker Tinotenda Kadewere has donated football jerseys to Harare City Football Club in appreciation of the club’s role in his development to become an elite footballer.
Kadewere (25), who plays for Olympique Lyon, is a product of Harare City Football Club.
In a voice note in Soccer24’s possession, the Warriors forward also revealed his plans to fund the construction of a state of the art academy which will benefit young footballers, through his Kadewere Foundation. Kadewere said:
<blockquote>I’m grateful for what was done for me by Harare City Football Club. They took me in and showed me love, they welcomed me and took me in as one of their own, something I never expected.
For me to be where I am today, it is because of them. I also thank God for making it possible for me to be at the club.
So this little gift (the jerseys), is the beginning of something bigger we are planning with Harare City.
My plea is for us to have some land on which we can put our own football ground, as well classrooms and a gym for our Highfield Academy so that we can help young kids.
The teams I have played for can also help us also help uplift young aspiring footballers in also reaching where I have reached.</blockquote>

Kadewere Donates Jerseys To Harare City, Reveals Plans To Build Modern Football Facility

Warriors forward Tinotenda Kadewere was honoured by President Emmerson Mnangagwa as Zimbabwe’s tourism ambassador when the two met at State House in Harare on Wednesday evening.
Permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information Publicity and Broadcasting Services Nick Mangwana confirmed the appointment on his Twitter handle. He wrote:
<blockquote>A Tourism Ambassador for Zimbabwe is someone who is chosen to become a public figure to help improve the tourism and market the culture of this country. Where is the debate again?</blockquote>
Mangwana’s remark came after some Zimbabweans on social media expressed disapproval over Kadewere’s visit to State House claiming that he had tarnished his reputation by meeting an alleged human rights violator.
Kadewere, who is back in the country following a largely successful debut season with French Ligue 1 log leaders Lyon said meeting the President was a dream come true.

France-based Zimbabwean international footballer Tinotenda Kadewere says it was an honour and a dream come true to meet President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Kadewere, his wife Sharon, brothers Prosper and Pardon Kadewere met President Mnangagwa at State House on Wednesday evening.

<blockquote>It was an honour to be able to get to meet His Excellency.
When my brother told me that we had been invited by the President, I was touched and I said to myself this has always been a dream.
It gave me a boost in my head and so much confidence that even the President himself is proud of what I am doing.</blockquote>
Kadewere added that he was left awestruck by President Mnangagwa’s “humility” and shed a tear when he entered State House. He said:
<blockquote>It gives me the courage to be able to do more for my country. The book present he gave me is wonderful. I never expected it. I was actually shocked about how humble the First Family is.
Those people are very humble. I shed a tear ndichipinda muState House kuti only if my (late) brother Prince was alive awonawo His Excellency.
It’s every sportsperson’s dream to meet the President.</blockquote>

Meeting The President An Honour & Dream Come True - Kadewere

Zimbabwean football fans expressed have mixed views on social media following President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s meeting with France-based Warriors striker Tinotenda Kadewere.
According to <a href="https://www.soccer24.co.zw/2020/12/31/kadewere-pays-courtesy-call-on-president-mnangagwa/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soccer24,</a> Kadewere, his wife Sharon, brothers Prosper and Pardon Kadewere met President Mnangagwa at State House on Wednesday evening.
Some commentators drew a comparison of Kadewere’s State House courtesy call with Arsenal striker Ozil’s meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan which resulted in a backlash in his home country Germany. Ozil has a  Turkish ancestry.
Here are some of the views expressed by Zimbabweans on Facebook while responding to a post by <a href="https://www.soccer24.co.zw/2020/12/31/kadewere-pays-courtesy-call-on-president-mnangagwa/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soccer24</a>:
Jimmy Jimalo Chingwaru: As a public figure he has supporters from different political parties. It was better not to show his side.
Zanu pf doesn’t know how to separate party and government so if we see this we can come into conclusion that he joins Zanu pf.
It is common cause that Garwe is a dictator his presidency is tainted.
Tonderai Chamusingarevi: His football career had developed to another level, and his performances in Lyon colours have been awesome, but now the guy is soiling his reputation.
Mdu Tshuma: Misguided priorities, Tinotenda Philani Kadewere just put his career on the line, best players in the world have been discarded by clubs that promote basic human rights, this was supposed to be done after career end, dining with the chief gukurahundist, basic human rights violator is the same as swimming in a crocodile river.
Hedwig Sithole: … leave the guy alone why what when whose zvese izvozvo is all up to him uchazvionawo kana waita mari svinu you’ll also rub shoulders with the Presidents and other higher-level personnel only idiots will mix bhora and politics all those negative comments just change them into cash and enjoy your new year fruitful 2021.
Elisha Muzhona: Scarf yawazo pfekedzwa iyo Tino ma1, but we pray that no evil fashioned against you shall prosper in Jesus name.
Ashley Kudzie Snr: I think we need to grow up as Zimbabweans and not put politics into everything. There is more to our humanity and our country that politicians.
Freedom of affiliation is part of our constitution and it now looks like everyone is now being forced to be MDC which is absurd.
Doubt Mushariwa: As long he wasn’t fed with poison, nothing is wrong to visit the PRESIDENT if he calls, You can’t deny Mnangagwa’s call, you can go and pretend to enjoy the visit for the sake of your life and safety.

WATCH: Kadewere Poacher's Goal Against Nantes

Olympique Lyon coach Rudi Garcia has expressed satisfaction over the progress Zimbabwean striker Tino Kadewere has made at the French Ligue 1 side.
The 24-year-old joined Les Gones after an unforgettable 2019/20 campaign at Ligue 2 side Le Havre and appears to have settled after a difficult start, progress which has not gone unnoticed by his coach.
Speaking to reporters ahead of Sunday’s home game against St Etienne, Garcia said:
<blockquote>Tino is important because he gets involved in games. He is good with his back to goal and his one-touch game is good, he has good movement, he is selfless.
He is a tall player with headers so he can help upfront and also comes to help at the back defending free-kicks.
I’m happy because Tino is a good guy even though there is a lot of competition here.</blockquote>
Kadewere has started in the last four league games and has played on the right side a front three alongside captain Memphis Depay and Carl Toko Ekambi.
He opened his account in the 3-2 win over Strasbourg last month.

Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon) and Zimbabwean international forward Tino Kadewere said making a competitive debut for the French club was a “dream come true”.

<blockquote>I was really happy and proud but also sad that my brother just passed on a month ago and could not see the dream we all wanted.
I think l just need to continue working hard both physically and technically in order to get used to playing the Ligue 1 football also.
… The coach was just happy with my performance and encouraged me to just keep working hard.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Tino, we keep you and your family in our prayers!
… What a team work! A proud moment for the players, staff, president, Club, and supporters!!!

Lyon Strikers Depay, Dembélé Dedicate UCL Win To Kadewere

France-bound Warriors striker, Philana Tinotenda Kadewere has said he is convinced that the Zimbabwean senior football team will one day win and bring joy to the country.
He was speaking on Zimbabwe’s national team history and chances for the team to perform better at the FIFA World Cup slated for Qatar 2022. He said:
<blockquote>It’s a huge honour to be able to play for your country and I’ll never tire of seeing my name on the squad lists. Of course, every national team goes through ups and downs, but I’m convinced that the day will come when we will make the whole country smile.
We all know that the road leading to the World Cup is long and winding, but that’s the goal that we’ve set ourselves. Obviously, we’re going to need to work hard to achieve it but we’ve got some solid foundations to build on. We’ve got real talent in the team and we’re a well-oiled unit that’s been playing together for few years now. That’s a definite asset for us.</blockquote>
Although the Warriors seem to be on the up, having managed to qualify for the last two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, something they last achieved in 2004 and 2006, Kadewere said the main objective and his biggest wish is the World Cup.

"We'll Make The Whole Country Smile" - Tino Kadewere

Lyon-bound Zimbabwean striker Tinotenda Kadewere has officially been named the 2019/20 golden boot winner in the French Ligue 2.
The 24-year forward netted twenty goals for Le Havre in twenty-four games before the season was prematurely ended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
His tally consists of four braces and he finishes three goals ahead clear at the top.
Kadewere set a new record when he found the back of the net nine times in the first six games, the longest scoring streak in the history of the Ligue 2.
This is his first major individual honour in France, having picked the club’s player of the month a couple of times.
He joined Le Havre from Djurgården on a four-year contract in July 2018 for a reported $2.5 million transfer fee.
On 22 January 2020, Kadewere signed with Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais. The deal also saw him stay at Le Havre on loan for the remainder of the 2019–20 season.

Kadewere Officially Named Golden Boot Winner In French Ligue 2

France-based Zimbabwean international striker Tino Kadawere says he would have wanted to see the season finish because he was looking to make history before he leaves Le Havre.
The former Harare City forward won the French Ligue 2 golden boot with twenty goals in twenty-four games as the campaign was cut short due to the coronavirus crisis.
Speaking during an interview with The Sunday Mail, the 24-year-old said:
<blockquote>The season itself was great, this was the best season I have ever had in my career.
But I am also very sad that we did not manage to finish the season because I would have loved to make history with the club.
I am very proud to be crowned top goalscorer. It is a huge achievement for me and I am also happy to be making Zimbabweans proud.
But, above all, I am making my late father proud, wherever he is.</blockquote>
Before the games were cancelled, Kadewere had already set a couple of records like netting nine goals in just six games.
His scoring ratio saw him surpassing a record set by Abraham Gneki Guié at Tours in the 2010/2011 season.
Kadewere will be with Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon) next season.

Kadewere Satisfied With Maiden French Season

Warriors striker Tino Kadewere’s French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon) will not play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
This came after the French 2019/20 season was called off due to the threat posed by COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the SARS-COV-19, the new coronavirus.
French football authorities decided that Paris Saint-Germain will be crowned Ligue 1 Champions, with Lyon missing out on a spot in the Champions League for the first time since 1997.
The placings have been determined on points per game played, and Lyon are seventh.
Kadewere signed for Lyon for $17 million in January and immediately loaned back to his League 2 side Le Havre.
He will join Lyon for next season.

Kadewere's Lyon Misses Out On Next Season's Lucrative UEFA Champions League

Zimbabwean international footballer Tino Kadewere (24) says signing for French giants Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon) has made his compatriots proud as the club is one of the largest in Europe.
Kadewere made the remarks during an interview with French publication Normand on Monday where he traced his football career from an academy in Highfield, Harare, to Lyon via Sweden. He said:
<blockquote>I’m very honoured to have signed there (Lyonnais). But above all, I am happy to make Zimbabweans proud. At home, there has been a lot of talk about my transfer. They are proud that one of their players joined one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
… I’m going to join a club that is competing in the UEFA Champions League. It is still in the quarterfinals and will play the second leg against Juventus in Turin. Like I have said, I am very honoured to have signed there.</blockquote>
Kadewere joined Lyon in January from Le Havre in a reported £15 million transfer deal and was immediately loaned back to the Ligue 2 side until the end of the season.
He played for Djugardens in Sweden before he joined Le Havre for £2,5 million, a club-record fee.

<blockquote>The 24-year-old is the top scorer in Domino’s Ligue 2 with 18 goals and the former Djurgardens attacker’s prolific form convinced OL to sign him for 12 million euros with Le Havre also in line for 15% of any future profit the Ligue 1 Conforama club make on the player.
Having already signed Karl Toko Ekambi this week to make up for the absence through injury of Memphis Depay and Jeff Reine-Adélaïde, OL have now locked in a major summer arrival in the form of the Zimbabwean international.

Kadewere left Swedish side Djurgaardens in the pre-season to join French outfit Le Havre. In an interview with a French radio channel, Kadewere had this to say
