Kaizer Chiefs respond to fans asking for Percy Tau signing! 

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 recently 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.

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. 

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.

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.
