  • Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs could have to pay up to R20 million to land a top transfer target in January 2025
  • Chiefs have made Polokwane City winger Oswin Appollis their primary target ahead of the transfer window, but the 23-year-old will not come cheaply

A Bafana Bafana winger could cost Kaizer Chiefs a reported R20 million if he leaves a PSL rival for the Soweto giants.

Appollis has enjoyed playing for Bafana Bafana, according to his Instagram account:

Chiefs are not the only PSL side interested in Appollis, as Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates have also shown an interest in the player alongside Tunisian side Esperance.

Polokwane, though, will do what they can to get the best price for the player, while PSL rivals Orlando Pirates have shown interest in their defender Thabang Matuludi.

Fans name their price

Amakhosi named their price for Appollis on social media, saying Chiefs should be willing to break the bank to sign the player.

Masango Doctorsen says the market is influenced:

"The PSL market is corrupted and determined by external forces that want to reap rewards they never earned."

Ca Stillo named their price:

"R15 million."

Kalla Ramashia says Chiefs get overpriced:

"Players are overpriced when it comes to Chiefs. Best way is to produce your own."
