Kaizer Chiefs best XI next season with Appollis and Mayele
Can Chiefs land these four dream signings?
Kaizer Chiefs have silverware in the cabinet and fan goodwill in the bank. Can Oswin Appollis and Fiston Mayele join the party?
Dream Kaizer Chiefs XI with three dream signings
Nwabali; Solomons, Msimango, Miguel, Dortley; Cele, Maart; Duba, Kingsley Michael, Appollis; Mayele.
Mduduzi Shabalala could be out in the cold at the outset of the 2025-2026 season after being overlooked as a starter in the Nedbank Cup. Nigerian midfielder Kingsley Michael is a tempting prospect, while his compatriot Stanley Nwabali knows all about goalkeeping in the PSL. Rumours of a big-money move for Pyramids striker Fiston Mayele also refuse to die down. 23-year-old Polokwane winger Oswin Appollis is reportedly keen to choose Chiefs over Orlando Pirates.
Appollis needs to improve his output
Oswin Appollis suffered a little from ‘second-season’ syndrome after a breakout campaign in 2023-2024. This term, the Polokwane livewire only managed two goals and an assist from 25 league outings. Hardly earth-shattering numbers for a player expected to win games for his manager. Polokwane improved on last season’s eighth-placed finish with a seventh-placed finish this term, so it’s not as if his teammates regressed. Appollis claimed six goals and three assists in the league last time out.
What do you think of this hypothetical XI?
