Kaizer Chiefs look set to lose out on a marquee transfer target as Pitso Mosimane circles to sign the player.
Pitso Mosimane eyeing out Kaizer Chiefs target Tau
According to iDiski Times, Pitso Mosimane’s team Esteghlal holds a crucial advantage over Kaizer Chiefs in the race for Percy Tau.
“Pitso Mosimane could be in line to make a sensational move for Bafana forward Percy Tau in the January window. Tau, 30, has been informed that he can leave Al Ahly pending an agreement of a mutual termination and the likes of Zamalek SC and Kaizer Chiefs have been mooted as suitors. However, reports in Egyptian media claim Mosimane, who signed him for Ahly from Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion, wants to reunite with him in Iran. Currently at Esteghlal, who have struggled for goals since his arrival, the signing of Tau could be a major boost for the second half of the season for the Persian Gulf Pro giants who are also competing in the AFC Champions League.”
Al Ahly to terminate Tau’s deal
Egyptian giants and current Caf Champions League champions Al Ahly have made no secret of the fact they want to part ways with Tau after his trophy-laden spell with the club. Now, it seems as though official news is filtering through.
“Understand Al Ahly & Percy Tau have agreed to mutually terminate his contract by mutual consent. Ahly will pay Tau the remainder of his contract and add a waiver to it,” SuperSport broadcaster Karabo Phasha posted on his official X account.
Kaizer Chiefs teenager flaunts his R2 million ride
19-year-old Kaizer Chiefs winger Nkosana Mbuthu has caused a stir on Instagram with his latest posts driving an expensive Range Rover. It’s not clear whether the car belongs to him, but either way, commenters are coming out of the woodwork. The post has since been deleted/archived. Interesting.
Rookie winger Nkosana Mbuthu had a baptism of fire in Chiefs’ 4-0 pre-season friendly defeat to Yanga. However, Tunisian coach Nabi has justified his choice not to substitute the then-18-year-old after selecting him out of position at left-back. Mbuthu, a player with zero minutes of competitive football to his name, is the son of former Chiefs star Patrick ‘Ace’ Mbuthu.
Will Pitso ruin Chiefs’ transfer plans this January?
