The Basadien reports emerged last season after Kaizer Chiefs parted ways with Sibusiso Mabiliso and while Sifiso Hlanti nears the end of his contract in June.
Furthermore, Appollis, who is enjoying his breakout season, is also being considered by the Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
Similar to Appollis, Mokwana has caught the eye of all three Gauteng superclubs. The newly capped Bafana Bafana star currently has four goals and four assists.
Spurs’ Cupido, the top goalscorer in the Motsepe Foundation Championship (MFC) last season, is a target despite a somewhat disappointing term this season.
