Football agent Lance Davids has explained the reasons behind the failed transfer moves of Oswin Appollis and Asanele Velebayi.

Both players were highly sought-after by big clubs in the Betway Premiership and North Africa during the recent transfer window, which closed last Friday, but they ultimately remained at their respective clubs.

Appollis was a subject of interest from Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns, Esperance of Tunisia and Algeria’s MC Alger.

Davids said, however, the Bafana Bafana forward remained with Polokwane City because club owner Johnny Mogaladi didn’t answer his phone to negotiate with interested clubs.
