Kaizer Chiefs are set to miss out on signing Percy Tau this summer as two Saudi Arabian clubs reportedly want the Bafana Bafana star.

The South African international has one more year on his contract with the Egyptian giants but reports about him wanting to leave have been flying around.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns star is on Amakhosi's radar this summer as the Premier Soccer League side hopes to add top players to their squad for next season.

According to a report by Koora, as per iDiskiTimes, Saudi Pro League sides Al Shabab and Al-Khoolod have contacted Tau over a possible transfer move this summer.

The former Brighton star could join Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, and Odion Ighalo in the Saudi League.

Tau's statistics as Al Ahly player

The Bafana Bafana forward was signed by Pitso Mosimane for the Red Devils in 2021 and has won the CAF Champions League twice alongside the Egyptian Premier League.

In three seasons, Tau has won 9 titles with Al Ahly and could add another one this campaign.

He scored 25 goals and registered 13 assists in 106 appearances for the Egyptian giants, according to iDiskiTimes.

Why Kaizer Chiefs should sign Percy Tau

In a related publication, Sports Brief explained why Kaizer Chiefs should sign Tau ahead of South African national teammate Lebo Mothiba this summer.

Percy 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.

Both players are reportedly a summer target for the Soweto Giants, but might have to chose one due to financial implications.
