Bafana Bafana and Polokwane winger Oswin Appollis is threatening to go on strike at the club to force a big-money move to Kaizer Chiefs.
Appollis desperate for Kaizer Chiefs move
According to Phakaaathi, Polokwane City and Chiefs might have had a breakthrough in talks for the sale of Bafana Bafana star Oswin Appollis. The 22-year-old is being watched by several top sides in South Africa, including Orlando Pirates.
“From what I’ve been told, it’s just a matter of time before the deal is concluded. I will check again if he reported for training on Monday,” said a source of the publication.
“He might even stop training in order to conclude the Chiefs deal because they are serious about wrapping up the transfer but the issue is about agreeing on a fee,” he said via The Citizen.
Appollis stats and bio
Cape Town-born Oswin Appollis is predominantly a left-winger who likes to cut inside on his preferred right foot. The 22-year-old was a shining light for Polokwane last term, bagging six goals and three assists from 29 league appearances. Not only is he productive in front of goal, but he’s also durable and reliable, missing just a solitary match over the campaign.

What are the other options?
Lebo Mothiba, Ashley Cupido, Iqraam Rayners, Khanyisa Mayo and Elias Mokwana are just a handful of the plethora of names linked to Chiefs in recent weeks. Mothiba is moving to Belgium, Cupido might be attainable but Orlando Pirates are also sniffing around. Iqraam Rayners will probably stay at Stellenbosch, Khanyisa Mayo’s price tag is around R38 million, according to John Comitis, and Chiefs are well below Sekhukhune’s R15 million valuation for Bafana winger Elias Mokwana. Perhaps Appollis is now the prime target?

Kaizer Chiefs finished the 2023-2024 league campaign in tenth position, their worst placing in the history of the DStv Premiership. Their last league title came back in 2015 which, incidentally, was also their most recent piece of major silverware. The club’s next friendly outing is in the Toyota Cup, staged in Bloemfontein, on 28 July. They’ll face new manager Nasreddine Nabi’s old club Young Africans from Tanzania.
