Kaizer Chiefs have previously been linked with Percy Tau and they could now sign him for free this window.
Chiefs have been touted as long-term admirers of Tau but question marks remain over finally signing him.
Tau released by Qatar Sc
Tau recently parted ways with his new side Qatar SC, this after a very short stint with the Qatari side. After only joining from Al Ahly in January, The South African international played just 10 times for the club, in an injury ravaged spell. He failed to find the back of the net during his time there, but was able to register four assists in the process.
Before signing for Qatar, there had been rumours of interesting in Iran, North Africa as well as South Africa. On home soil it has been Chiefs who have prominently been linked with the player over the years. During the previous close season, it was claimed that Amakhosi had made inquiries and even bids for Tau, but could not meet Al Ahly’s valuation.
Chiefs recently linked
With Tau being a free agent, that opens up the pool of clubs that can entice him with a deal. It also gives Chiefs an opportunity to speak to the player directly, with only a personal package to worry about. Coach Nasreddine Nabi has recently been doing the rounds trying to attract experienced attackers.
But according to Soccer-Laduma, Chiefs have made the decision not to sign Tau!
Amakhosi decide against signing him
“Of course there was a time when the club (Chiefs) was interested in signing Percy Tau and that was when he was about to leave Aly Ahly. But no longer. The technical team as well as the recruitment department have ruled out signing Percy Tau this time around. It’s apparently not in the coach’s plans at the moment. They pulled out of that race,” said the source.
Good or bad decision?
