“I hear people say he’s the biggest signing (in this transfer window), but this thing is what kills players a lot of the times,” Lekoelea told Kick Off.

“Because (for example) a player was performing in his previous team Polokwane… many players when they arrive at a big team, they start to relax and that’s when the hard work should start. But they relax.

“But I don’t think Appollis would do that because he’s a good player, he is a national team player. I think he will do well,” the legend added.
