Kaizer Chiefs to sign Percy Tau for free in January window?

It’s no secret that Kaizer Chiefs are looking to boost their attack in the upcoming January transfer window.

Chiefs may also get the a late Christmas gift with reports that target Percy Tau could be available for free. 

Chiefs targeting attacking reinforcements

In the current campaign there has been very little to suggest that will change. Currently, Chiefs are relying on Ranga Chivaviro and Ashley du Preez as their main source of goals. The duo have not been a overwhelming successes as again, like previous seasons have performed in flashes. 

Chivaviro has had four goals in 10 matches in all competitions this season while du Preez has had three. They have also missed a multitude of clear cut opportunities which has seen Nabi renew his cry for a striker. One of the attackers Chiefs were linked with before the season was Bafana Bafana international Tau. 

Furthermore, it was claimed that Tau, himself, was ready to reject Chiefs in hope of an overseas move. But now as those rumours dry up, there could be a pathway opened up for him to join Amakhosi. This after reports in Egypt suggest his deal at Al Ahly could be terminated in January!

Could they sign Tau for free?

“According to Egyptian website Youm7, the Red Devils are looking to terminate Tau’s contract in order to bring in another foreign player next month. The report claims that Al Ahly want to sign Moroccan midfielder Mohamed El Arouch, who is currently a free agent after leaving Brazilian outfit Botafogo . The attacking midfielder parted ways with the Brazilian outfit just five months after joining the club on a free transfer due to personal reasons after a home invasion. Tau last featured for Al Ahly as a second-half substitute in the defeat to Pachuca on penalties in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup last weekend.” Wrote KickOff.com citing those North African reports. 

Chiefs have a positive history of offering top dollar lure top class free agents. From Shaun Bartlett, Tshepo Masilela, Sibonelo Gaxa, Bernard Parker , Keagan Dolly, and Khama Billiat.
