Frank Makua tips Kaizer Chiefs to sign Sipho Mbule despite off-field concerns
Despite his off-the-field issues, midfielder Sipho Mbule could be a good signing for Kaizer Chiefs, according to former Amakhosi player Frank Makua.
Now a free agent following his departure from Qatar SC, the Bafana Bafana attacking midfielder was a guest on radio 94.7 the Robert Marawa, where he addressed the possibility of a PSL return and responded candidly to questions about a potential move to Naturena.
When asked whether he would accept a two-year contract offer from Kaizer Chiefs worth R450,000 per month, the 30-year-old responded quickly and affirmatively: "Yes."
While Tau admitted his continued affection for Sundowns, he was clear that he wouldn't hesitate to join Amakhosi if the Brazilians failed to table an offer.
"I will listen if there are offers - I'm not ruling out anyone. There's a lot to take in and consider - your age, how long the contract is, and your family situation," said Tau.
"If that situation were to happen (an offer from Chiefs), I would pay attention to it. But there are still other clubs in the PSL. I played for Sundowns, so I can't write them off. It's a team I played for, I won trophies with, and I've got so much love for the team and the fans."
"If Sundowns don't offer me a contract and Chiefs do, then it won't be my fault that I've gone to join Chiefs - it will be theirs."
Tau became a free agent after recently parting ways with Qatar SC, a club he joined in January. His career journey has also included stints at Egyptian giants Al Ahly, and Belgian sides Club Brugge, Anderlecht, and Union SG, as well as English Premier League outfit Brighton & Hove Albion.
With Tau's proven track record and experience both locally and abroad, his next move will undoubtedly be one of the biggest talking points in South African football this transfer window.
