Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly forward Percy Tau is still without a club.
The 31-year-old became a free agent after leaving Qatar in May. He has since returned to South Africa and is open to playing in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) should any team propose a right offer for him.
Former Pirates winger Mark Mayambela said Percy Tau could be a great addition to the Buccaneers. Speaking on Soccer Beat, the former trickster encourages the Soweto giants to sign Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile.
“[If not Shalulile] Also, we spoke about Percy as well. He is also running around somewhere in the streets of Mpumalanga and I feel..[he can be a good fit for Pirates].
Which team will Percy Tau join?
Speaking to Robert Marawa on Radio 94.7, Tau revealed that he would accept a monthly salary of R450,000 from Chiefs.
“If that situation were to happen [to receive an offer from Chiefs], I would pay attention to it,” he admitted. “But there are still other clubs in the PSL. I mean, I played for Sundowns, so I cannot write them off. It’s a team that I played for, I won, and I’ve got so much love for the team and the fans. If Sundowns were not to offer me a contract and Chiefs do, then it won’t be my fault but theirs that I’ve gone to join Chiefs,” he said.
Percy Tau also said he was open to playing for Pirates or Stellenbosch. At 31, the winger is no longer at his peak, but his experience, work ethic and eye for goal will be an asset for any top PSL side.
Do you think Tau will return to the PSL?
