Why Kaizer Chiefs won’t be signing Percy Tau
Chiefs still have Khama Billiat’s underwhelming stint at the club fresh in their memories. Now, they’re hesitant to hand a bumper deal to a player over the age of 30. Billiat and Keagan Dolly were two of the country’s best-paid players, but both failed to live up to the hype at Naturena.
“The team feels that apparently they believe they have learnt a lesson from the signing of Khama Billiat and Keagan Dolly,” an inside source explained.
“They paid a lot of money, but the club believes those returns were not worth it. So that’s why they are looking at other forward players apart from Percy Tau. So, for now, he is not one of the targets. But in football, you never know what will happen in future. But definitely not now.”
