Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly ready to make a bold move for Polokwane City’s star winger, Oswin Appollis, during the upcoming January 2025 transfer window. The 23-year-old, who has been in scintillating form for both his club and the South African national team, is the top priority for Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi. However, landing the dynamic winger might require Chiefs to shell out a staggering R20 million.
Appollis’ performances in the PSL and for Bafana Bafana have turned heads, making him one of the most sought-after players this season. Chiefs fans have been vocal about the club’s ambition, with many speculating about the hefty price tag and debating whether Appollis is worth the investment. Some supporters even suggested exploring alternative options if the deal proves too costly.
Competition for Appollis is fierce. PSL giants Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates have also expressed interest, alongside Tunisian heavyweights Esperance. Despite the pressure, Polokwane City is determined to maximize the deal, knowing Appollis is their most prized asset.
The interest from Chiefs comes amid reports that Orlando Pirates are also eyeing another Polokwane star, defender Thabang Matuludi. This further underscores the level of talent emerging from Polokwane City this season and the competitive nature of the transfer market.
For Amakhosi, securing Appollis would signal a strong statement of intent as they aim to reinforce their squad for the second half of the season. Whether the Soweto giants will meet the R20 million valuation remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Oswin Appollis has become one of the hottest prospects in South African football.
