Polokwane City Football Club has swiftly responded to recent speculation linking their winger, Oswin Appollis, with a potential move
to Kaizer Chiefs, asserting that the talented player remains an integral part of their plans for the upcoming season.
In a statement released earlier today, Polokwane City’s management emphasized their commitment to retaining Appollis amidst
growing interest from various clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs. The club’s spokesperson, Thabiso Mokoena, highlighted Appollis’ value
to the team, describing him as a key player whose contributions on the field are pivotal to their ambitions.
Mokoena expressed Polokwane City’s pride in Appollis’ development within their ranks, noting his impressive performances during
the previous season. He acknowledged the winger’s growing reputation and acknowledged the interest from bigger clubs but affirmed
that Polokwane City is focused on building a competitive squad around him.
Furthermore, the spokesperson emphasized that Polokwane City is not actively seeking to part ways with Appollis and that any
negotiations would have to reflect the player’s worth and their strategic plans. Mokoena hinted at the club’s determination to
strengthen their squad rather than weaken it, aiming to improve upon their previous season’s achievements.
The response comes amidst heightened speculation in the transfer market, with Kaizer Chiefs reportedly eyeing Appollis as a potential
reinforcement for their squad. The winger’s skillful playmaking abilities and goal-scoring prowess have undoubtedly caught the
attention of clubs looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
For Kaizer Chiefs, securing a player of Appollis’ caliber would align with their ambitions to reclaim their position among South Africa’s
football elite. However, Polokwane City’s firm stance suggests that any potential transfer negotiations would need to be handled
delicately and fairly, respecting both the player’s aspirations and the club’s strategic objectives.
As the transfer window progresses, the future of Oswin Appollis remains uncertain, with Polokwane City’s response serving as a clear
indication of their intent to retain one of their prized assets. The coming weeks are likely to reveal whether Kaizer Chiefs or any other
suitors can persuade Polokwane City to reconsider their stance on the talented winger.
