Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly interested in signing Bafana Bafana stars, Percy Tau and Lebo Mothiba, this summer but might have to dump one of them due to financial implications.

Tau could be on his way out of Al Ahly after the Egyptian giants failed to agree a new deal with the South African international, while Mothiba is a free agent after being released by Strasbourg at the end of the season.

Sports Brief examines some of the reasons Kaizer Chiefs should sign Tau ahead of the former Lille striker.

Why Chiefs should sign Tau over Mothiba

With Kaizer Chiefs struggling for goals in the 2023-24 season, they need new attackers in their ranks for the new season.

Signing both Tau and Mothiba would have been the best situation for the club, but the financial implications would be too much for the Glamour Boys.

Aside from being a better all-around player, Tau has PSL experience, having played for Mamelodi Sundowns for four seasons, winning the league twice and the CAF Champions League.

Mothiba has yet to play in the DStv Premiership, and it could take some time for him to adapt to African football.

Tau would offer more than goals to the Soweto Giants. He can also create chances for others due to his ability to play behind a striker or as a winger.

Keagan Dolly could leave Chiefs this summer at the end of his contract, and Percy's arrival would be a perfect replacement for the former Mamelodi Sundowns.

Tau to Kaizer Chiefs still possible

Sports Brief earlier reported on Kaizer Chiefs chances of signing Tau from Al Ahly this summer.

The PSL side are one of the teams linked with the South African international amid contract issues with the Egyptian giants.
