‘R50 million minimum for Orlando Pirates superstar’

Appollis could still leave Orlando Pirates

According to a source via the Citizen, an unnamed European club has tabled an enticing offer for the Bafana Bafana winger, and Pirates are considering it. The 25-year-old featured in every single Betway Premiership match last season for the champions, contributing nine goals and six assists in 30 outings. This term, he’s already got two goals and two assists in five matches. The transfer window closes on 21 September.

“Don’t be surprised to see Oswin leave Pirates before the transfer window closes. There’s serious interest in him, and an offer for him from a European team has been tabled already. I think it’s from France, but it’s not easy to get information from Pirates these days; they protect it,” said the source.

Nkota’s arrival at Orlando Pirates increases competition for places

Bafana Bafana star Mohau Nkota’s 21 Saudi Pro League appearances last term only yielded two goals and three assists. It’s understandable, then, that the 21-year-old is back in South Africa to find his form again on loan. Nkota will vie for a starting role wide in attack alongside Tshepang Moremi and Oswin Appollis. If only two of those players can start regularly, which one of the three is the odd one out?
