Orlando Pirates are reportedly close to securing the signings of Polokwane City duo Oswin Appollis and Thabang Matuludi, with sources indicating that the deals could be finalized before the end of the week.
The Buccaneers have been monitoring Appollis and Matuludi following their impressive performances for Polokwane City this season in the Betway Premiership.
Both players have been key figures for the Limpopo-based side, attracting interest from several top-flight clubs. However, it now appears Pirates are in pole position to bring them to Soweto.
Appollis, an exciting winger with blistering pace and attacking flair, has been one of the standout performers in the league this season.
The 22-year-old’s ability to create and score goals has earned him widespread praise and a growing reputation as one of South Africa’s brightest prospects.
Matuludi, on the other hand, has been solid at the back for Polokwane City
The versatile defender has displayed consistency and composure, making him an attractive option for Pirates as they look to bolster their defensive ranks.
Sources close to the negotiations have revealed that talks between the two clubs are at an advanced stage, with both transfers likely to be completed in the coming days.
The duo's potential arrival would add depth and quality to the Pirates squad as they aim to strengthen their challenge for domestic and continental honours next season.
The Buccaneers have been active in the transfer market as they look to build on their solid performances last season, which saw them clinch the MTN8 title and finish as runners-up in the DStv Premiership.
Adding players of Appollis’ and Matuludi’s calibre aligns with the club's ambition to remain competitive on all fronts.
Polokwane City are likely to feel the loss of two key players, but the financial benefits of the deal could provide the club with an opportunity to reinvest in their squad ahead of the new campaign.
Pirates fans will be eagerly awaiting confirmation of the signings as the Soweto giants prepare for another demanding season, both domestically and in the CAF interclub
