Speaking to Robert Marawa on 947 on Wednesday, Motaung Jr confirmed that Chiefs are trying to bring the 23-year-old winger to Naturena.

“What I can say about (Oswin) Appollis is I don’t know any club in the country who wouldn’t want to sign him. He’s a top player, and we’re working tirelessly to bring top players to the club,” said Motaung Jr.

Motaung Jr also revealed that the Chiefs are in talks with Polokwane chairman Johnny Mogaladi about a potential transfer for Appollis and other players.

“We’d love to have him, we’ve had talks with the chairman of Polokwane City, not only about Oswin, but other players also. It’s a process that’s ongoing.”
