“Oswin is a top player, undoubtedly one of the best wingers in the country at the moment.” an insider told Citizen.
“Polokwane know that they are going to make money out of him, and they can get a bigger offer than what Kaizer Chiefs put on the table. To tell you the truth, I’m not really surprised and the thing is that they are not the only ones who want to sign him.”

“Luke is very close as far as that is concerned. Yes, he came in probably three quarters to the season as a free agent, and you know he had to work very hard to get himself a club,” Johnson told Sowetan.
“And he got Chiefs as his next destination, and when he started at the village, he had to work very hard. But since we closed in December for those few weeks, he has come back looking a lot fresher. And now that we started training, Luke is looking very sharp.”
The publication further claimed Fleurs will likely make his debut for the club when the DStv Premiership resumes following the ongoing AFCON break.
Chiefs are due to face TS Galaxy on 13 February at the FNB Stadium.
