Kaizer Chiefs legend Brian Baloyi has thrown his weight behind a bold double swoop, urging the club to target former Mamelodi Sundowns stars Percy Tau and Thembinkosi Lorch when the January transfer window opens. The suggestion has caught fire among supporters, who see both players as proven winners capable of lifting Amakhosi’s challenge for silverware this season.

Baloyi points to Tau’s undoubted quality and championship pedigree — attributes honed at Sundowns — alongside Lorch’s big‑match experience and ability to unlock tight defences. In his view, adding the pair would bring immediate depth, leadership, and a winning mentality to the dressing room at a critical stage of the campaign.

However, the proposed moves have also sparked debate. Speaking to Briefly News, a football analyst questioned whether signing two established veterans aligns with the club’s long‑term rebuilding plans. While no one doubts their individual talent, concerns have been raised about wage costs, age, and whether the pair would fit into coach Fernando Da Cruz’s evolving system.

As speculation builds, one thing is clear: the January window could reshape the squad. Whether Chiefs pursue both targets, strike a deal for one, or look elsewhere, the coming weeks will reveal how seriously the club intends to push for honours this term.
