Kaizer Chiefs have been made aware of Percy Tau’s availability. The 31-year-old Betway Premiership legend is back home after leaving Qatar SC.
The Emalahleni-born player made only 10 appearances in the Qatar Stars League, which included four assists.
It’s no secret that Kaizer Chiefs are actively scanning the market for experienced forwards, especially a superbly experienced player like Percy Tau, who has won CAF Champions League titles with teams like Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly, while also fetching an AFCON bronze medal with Bafana Bafana.

According to the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs striker, Katlego “Killer” Mphela,” Amakhosi should be wary of a Khama Billiat or Keagan Dolly movie repeat.

“In the past few seasons Chiefs have not been doing well despite winning a trophy last season and they need players who will help them change the team’s fortunes.
“But I don’t think signing Percy Tau will be the solution if you look at the history of most former Sundowns players who joined Chiefs, including myself. We don’t live up to expectations. There are a lot of expectations, and that puts pressure on the players.”

“Look at what happened to Keagan Dolly, Khama Billiat or Edward Manqele,” Mphela continued. “Yes, they are different players but expectations are the same and history is the same. It’s a tricky one because Percy has a lot of quality and experience but the history will tell you the truth about former Sundowns players at Kaizer Chiefs. It’s not a good one.

“They don’t need to sign one player to change the team and for the team to perform well. On his own he won’t help the team. So if they really need to sign him they have to look at players who can help him and the team achieve good results. But it would be more better if they sign more players instead of Percy Tau,” the former Bafana Bafana striker concluded.
