Tau linked with Zamalek of Egypt

Sports Brief earlier reported that Egyptian legend, Ahmed Hossam, popularly known as Mido, asked his former club, Zamalek, to sign Tau from Al Ahly.

However, it has been suggested he might not be interested in the move because the side is struggling at the moment, sitting 13th in the league.

Tau, who has 25 goals for his current club from 104 appearances, would likely not want to miss the FIFA Club World Cup with Al Ahly next year.
