Kaizer Chiefs are favourites to Oswin Appollis from Polokwane City ahead of the new 2024/2025 DStv Premiership season.
The 22-year-old Appollis has been one of the best players in the league last season helping Polokwane City to a top 8 finish. The Cape Town-born attacker scored seven goals and provided two assists in 31 matches across all competitions. His good form has seen him called to the Bafana Bafana squad where he featured in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Kaizer Chiefs on pole to bring in Oswin Appollis
According to Mgosi Squad, Amakhosi and City are edging closer to a deal.
“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 as per Phakaathi.
Oppollis is not cheap and any team that is looking for his signature will have to pay big money for the 22-year-old. His breakout season has seen him feature regularly for Bafana Bafana making him one of the most sought-after players in the premiership. Despite interest from Kaizer Chiefs, Appollis is also on Mamelodi Sundowns’ radar according to reports.
Former Bafana defender Clayton Daniels has warned the young attacker to stay away from Chiefs or Downs.
“Yeah, oh! This boy who stays here by me, Oswin Appolis. He stays here by the flats, just here,” Daniels told GOAL.
“Oswin Appolis. If… I don’t say he must go to too big of a club because it’s going to limit his game time, he needs to play a lot more football.”
Kaizer Chiefs have made three signings already and having Oswin Appollis in their team might be what the club needs.
