Report: Percy Tau on the verge of signing with top PSL club

Former Bafana Bafana winger Percy Tau could be closing in on a sensational return to Mamelodi Sundowns.

The 32-year-old has been training with Masandawana over the past few weeks, with the club reportedly impressed by what they have seen from the former Al Ahly star.

According to Soccer Laduma, Sundowns head coach Miguel Cardoso has been impressed with Tau’s performances during training, with talks already underway over a possible deal.

“As you already know, Percy Tau is back at Chloorkop and training with the team. So far, he has been impressive, and the club has been impressed. Talks have already started about the possibility of a deal. Signs are pointing to the possibility of signing in the coming days if all goes well in the negotiations,” a source told the Siya crew.

There are also growing hints that Tau could be on his way back to the Tshwane giants.

Over the weekend, Sundowns defender Grant Kekana posted a picture of Tau at the club’s training ground on his Instagram page, further fuelling speculation about a possible reunion.

Tau previously enjoyed success at Sundowns before moving to Europe, where he played for Brighton and Hove Albion and several clubs before joining Egyptian giants Al Ahly.

A return to Chloorkop would see the experienced attacker reunite with the club where he first established himself as one of South Africa’s most exciting football talents.

At 32, it seems likely that Sundowns will give the Lion of Judah a one year contract.
