Analyst Tips Top SA Star for Sundowns or Chiefs

Former Bafana Bafana star Percy Tau could attract interest from two of South Africa’s biggest football clubs, with football analyst Lebohang “Cheezboy” Mokoena suggesting that both Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs should consider bringing the experienced attacker on board.

Speaking on Absa Football Fridays, the SoccerBeat pundit reportedly said Kaizer Chiefs should move quickly to pursue Tau if Sundowns fail to reach an agreement with the player.

The 32-year-old forward has been without a club since leaving Vietnamese side Thep Xanh Nam Dinh earlier this year. He has since returned to South Africa and was recently spotted training at Sundowns’ Chloorkop facilities. The sessions are reportedly intended to help him maintain his fitness while he considers his next career move.

There have also been reports suggesting that discussions between Tau and Sundowns may be progressing. A short-term contract that would keep him at the club until the end of the season has reportedly been considered. However, neither Sundowns nor the player has officially confirmed that an agreement has been reached.

Mokoena believes Tau still has plenty to offer because of his experience and achievements at the highest level of African football. He particularly highlighted the attacker’s success with Sundowns and Egyptian giants Al Ahly, where he won the CAF Champions League.

A return to Chloorkop would allow Tau to rejoin a club and environment he knows well. On the other hand, a move to Kaizer Chiefs could give the Soweto-based side an experienced attacking option as they look to strengthen their squad.

Tau has reportedly remained open to offers from interested clubs, although factors such as the length of a potential contract and his family’s circumstances are believed to be important in determining his next destination.

For now, the former Bafana Bafana international’s future remains unresolved. With speculation continuing around Sundowns and Chiefs, supporters will be waiting to see whether Tau returns to the Betway Premiership or chooses another opportunity elsewhere.
