Oswin Appollis, the talented Bafana Bafana winger, has quickly become one of the hottest players in the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL).
Known for his impressive performances week after week with Polokwane City, the 23-year-old has caught the eye of major PSL clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.
Originally, Appollis had agreed to a move to Kaizer Chiefs during the offseason.
However, the transfer was blocked when Polokwane’s chairman, Johnny Mogaladi, mysteriously disappeared during the final week of the winter transfer window.
Now, with the January window approaching, it seems the deal might not happen this time around either.
Challenges in Securing a Deal
KickOff confirmed that any potential transfer in January would be complicated.
With little time to find a suitable replacement for Appollis, Polokwane City is likely to be hesitant to let go of their star player.
Additionally, if a local rival like Kaizer Chiefs or Orlando Pirates were to acquire him, the situation becomes even more tricky.
While anything is possible in football, the high financial demands could make this move more difficult to finalize.
Fawaaz Basadien Also in High Demand
Another player in high demand this January is Fawaaz Basadien, a left-back for Stellenbosch FC and Bafana Bafana.
Both Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns have struggled to secure his signature, and now Orlando Pirates are entering the race with a strong plan to sign him.
Pirates are considering a strategy that involves offloading current players like captain Innocent Maela and Paseka Mako to make room for Basadien.
The club is keen to strengthen their left-back position as they aim for success both in local competitions and African tournaments.
This strategic move could be the key to attracting Basadien to the club.
January Transfer Window: Will Appollis Make the Move?
