Polokwane City set record straight on Kaizer Chiefs Appollis bid

Kaizer Chiefs are working hard to get their top transfer targets as the PSL transfer window edges close to completion. 

So far Chiefs have signed seven players but are believed to be hoping to add at least two more. 

Chiefs have already strengthened their squad

As it stands, Chiefs have roped in the services of Bongani Sam from arch rivals Orlando Pirates. They continued to sure up their defence, with the signings of Rushwin Dortley and Fiacre Ntwari. The defender joining from Cape Town Spurs while the goalkeeper signed from TS Galaxy. It didn’t stop there as Gaston Sirino, Inacio Miguel, Bradley Cross and Njabulo Blom. 

It is believed that Chiefs are still in the market to further strengthen their squad. Two more signings, a winger and striker have been touted. Having already missed out on Elias Mokwana and Khanyisa Mayo, they are now looking at Oswin Appollis. It was thought that the Polokwane City star is heading to Algeria, but that move doesn’t seem to have materialised. That seems to have given Amakhosi a chance to steal in.

Now after Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jnr confirmed interest Appollis, more rumours emerged. It was thought that Amakhosi had gone as far as launching a bid for the player after talks had been confirmed. Now according to Polokwane’s Chief Operations Officer Tincy Tema, there has been no official move for his services. 

No bid for Appollis, however

“They (Chiefs) haven’t put in an offer (for Appollis)” Said Tema as per Soccer-Laduma. 

Appollis has only seen his star rise after his recent brace for Bafana Bafana against South Sudan. He has also been a regular for Hugo Broos in the last three international breaks. Whether that has raised his price and holding up a move to Chiefs remains to be seen.
