Oswin Appollis has been linked with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates but says he is focused on his task at Polokwane City.

Something of a budding journeyman striker, Appollis has hit a hot-streak at Rise and Shine this term.

That form has drawn interest from the biggest clubs in the country.

However, Appollis isn’t going to have his head turned by a few column inches.

“Ja no comment on any of that,” Appollis replied to iDiski Times when asked about the transfer rumours. 

“My job now is just to play for Polokwane City, and do great, and continue helping the team, wherever the team’s gonna be in the next few years.”

Still links to the Soweto giants persist.

Those rumours will continue and will spread to any striker who hits a purple patch, given how both Pirates and Chiefs are struggling to find the net.

While Appollis might not be thinking about moving on, the right offer could spark interest in a deal from Polokwane City’s point of view.

Will the Soweto Giants come knocking?

“Pirates and Chiefs are interested in Appollis.

“And the good thing for them, or any other interested club, is that Polokwane City is open to selling,” a source told Soccer Laduma

“The club won’t stand in the player’s way and for them, it will be a matter of cashing in. 

“This applies to any player that they were taking a chance on when signing. Appollis is a talented youngster with a lot of potential, but at the time of his signing, he needed a fresh start. He needed that in the big league, and Polokwane City was willing to offer him that opportunity. He has done well, and the club won’t stand in his way if there is an opportunity for him to grow further.”
