Kaizer Chiefs have renewed their interest in Polokwane City and Bafana Bafana winger Oswin Appollis, as they prepare for a return to continental football. After previously failing to land the talented midfielder, Amakhosi are making fresh moves to bring him to Naturena.

Club scouts have reportedly identified Appollis as a top target for the upcoming season. Chiefs are determined to reinforce their squad following their Nedbank Cup triumph and qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup.

Inside the Chiefs transfer talks for Appollis

A source confirmed Chiefs’ revived efforts to sign the 23-year-old winger.

“Yes Ossie (Oswin Appollis) is still wanted by Kaizer Chiefs, there was a time where they thought that they were gonna lose him because Sundowns were also interested. Pirates were also at the table but in the end no one could get the Polokwane City boss to agree to a deal,” the source told The South African.

Despite competition from rivals Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates in previous windows, Chiefs now believe the timing could be right to secure Appollis’ signature.

CAF Confederation Cup spot fuels recruitment

With continental football on the horizon, Chiefs are actively seeking players who can bolster their squad and handle the demands of international competition. Appollis, who has impressed both in the Betway Premiership and with Bafana Bafana, fits the profile perfectly.

“Of course he would be a good addition especially with Chiefs qualifying for the CAF Confed Cup. His dip in form is not a worry. As the scouts feel he might have been disappointed by the number of failed moves. Also that a new environment will be good for him,” the source added.
