Former Mamelodi Sundowns striker Mame Niang has suggested that bringing Percy Tau back to Chloorkop could provide the Brazilians with an important boost as they look to address their current challenges.

Niang, who previously represented the Tshwane giants, believes Tau has the qualities to make a difference at his former club and could be the missing piece Sundowns need to strengthen their attacking options.

The South African forward enjoyed a successful spell at Sundowns, where he developed into one of the country's most exciting attacking talents before moving to Europe to continue his career. His performances earned him opportunities abroad, including spells with Brighton and Hove Albion, Club Brugge and Anderlecht.

Tau later established himself at Egyptian giants Al Ahly, where he added further experience to his career before becoming a free agent.

His availability has naturally generated discussions about a possible return to South Africa, particularly among Sundowns supporters who remember his contribution during his first spell at the club.

Niang's comments have added another voice to the growing conversation, with the former striker believing Tau could offer something valuable to the current squad.

Sundowns have maintained high expectations because of their domestic dominance and ambitions in continental competitions. However, every team experiences difficult periods, and the technical department must continually assess areas that require improvement.

A player with Tau's experience, creativity and attacking ability could provide additional options, although his potential impact would depend on his fitness, adaptation and the role assigned to him.

For now, Niang's suggestion remains an opinion rather than confirmation of an agreement between Tau and Sundowns. The club has not officially announced a deal.

Nevertheless, the possibility of seeing the former fan favourite return to Chloorkop continues to generate excitement among supporters.
