A handful of Kaizer Chiefs followers will enjoy this story, while Mamelodi Sundowns supporters will be unimpressed.
KAIZER CHIEFS SEND OFFER FOR PERCY TAU
The name Tau and Amakhosi have been synonymous for some time now. While the 30-year-old forward has been linked with exit from Al Ahly when his deal expires in June, Soccer Laduma says Chiefs have tabled an offer to sign the former Sundowns superstar. “Al Ahly have reportedly received an offer from Kaizer Chiefs for Percy Tau, alongside another Gulf outfit, ahead of the looming transfer window,” the outlet reported. “According to Kooora, one unnamed Qatari has sent an offer to the Club of the Century for the 46-capped, but the same report claims that a source from within the side has confirmed that Chiefs have also submitted an offer.”
