Percy Tau has been released by his Qatari club, Qatar SC sending teams locally and abroad on high alert.
Kaizer Chiefs are known to be on the market for experienced forwards and Tau could certainly be available timorously.
Tau was recently released by Qatar SC
Tau had only joined Qatar SC in January from Al Ahly, in what has proven to be an extremely short stint. 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.
Tau proved to be one of several exits announced by the club on Thursday, including head coach Mehdi Natfi. Several other players; Ben Malango, Javi Martinez, Badr Benoun, Carlinhos Vinicius and Ahmed Abdelkader, who’s loan ends and returns to Al Ahly. It now remains to be seen where the Lion of Judah ends up next as he becomes a free agent.
Previously linked with Chiefs
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.
After admitting that he supported Chiefs growing up but still loves Mamelodi Sundowns, Tau made an Orlando Pirates admission.
Loves Sundowns still but won’t say no to Pirates
“I’d Listen to anybody, let’s not rule out Orlando Pirates, or even Stellenbosch, SuperSport (United). I’ll not rule out anyone. My decision will be based on who gives me a contract. Of course Sundowns still has my love, but then it will be based on who gives me a contract because at the end of the day, I still have to support my family. So just because I love the club it doesn’t mean ill stick around for any offer” said Tau.
Should the Buccaneers sign him?
