Kaizer Chiefs in advanced talks with Appollis – Reports

Kaizer Chiefs are making progress in a much-mooted move for Bafana Bafana and Polokwane winger Oswin Appollis.

Appollis to Kaizer Chiefs reaches an advanced stage

Soccer Laduma reported that Oswin Appollis could be a Kaizer Chiefs player next season.

“What we believe is that apparently the talks involving Appollis and Kaizer Chiefs are at an advanced stage,” the source told the publication.

Is Appollis overrated?

Oswin Appollis suffered a little from ‘second-season’ syndrome after a breakout campaign in 2023-2024. This term, the Polokwane livewire only managed two goals and an assist from 25 league outings. Hardly earth-shattering numbers for a player expected to win games for his manager. Polokwane improved on last season’s eighth-placed finish with a seventh-placed finish this term, so it’s not as if his teammates regressed. Appollis claimed six goals and three assists in the league last time out.

In short, there will be cheaper and more productive options on the market.

Ins and outs at Naturena

Mduduzi Shabalala could be out in the cold at the outset of the 2025-2026 season after being overlooked as a starter in the Nedbank Cup. Nigerian midfielder Kingsley Michael is a tempting prospect, while his compatriot Stanley Nwabali knows all about goalkeeping in the PSL. Rumours of a big-money move for Pyramids striker Fiston Mayele also refuse to die down. 23-year-old Polokwane winger Oswin Appollis is reportedly keen to choose Chiefs over Orlando Pirates.
