Secondly, we know that Tau was facing a potential exit from Al Ahly during the recent transfer.

Ultimately, Al Ahli management confirmed that they would be open to letting Tau go on loan. Finally, we know that Mosimane wants to bolster his squad in January. This, as he aims to earn his side promotion in to Al Ahli’s top league.

Therefore, it all comes down to the next few months post Tau’s much-anticipated return to action.

If he flourishes at Al Ahly, as he is very capable of doing, then he will likely stay with the Egyptian giants. However, if he continues to ‘underperform’ (this is debatable) than he could be loaned out in January with Mosimane looking to strengthen his side.

In summary, there are no official links between Tau and Mosimane yet. However, it is not impossible given their current situations.

We will have to wait until the January transfer window to see what happens with The Lion of Judah and Jingles.
