Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has addressed rumours linking his club with Percy Tau and Fiston Mayele.
The Tunisian tactician has already brought five new players to Amakhosi, with several current Chiefs players still expected to leave.

After making four defensive signings in Fiacre Ntwari, Bongani Sam, Rushwin Dortley and Inacio Miguel, Nabi is understood to still be pushing for more attacking power, with Gaston Sirino the only offensive player added so far.
There have been rumours in local and foreign media that Chiefs are after Bafana Bafana and Al Ahly winger Tau, but Nabi has now dismissed those talks.
“There are no negotiations with Percy Tau because I believe he still has one year left on his contract,” he told OnTime Sports, as translated by Farpost.
“Kaizer Chiefs respects the FIFA rules. If ever there’s an opportunity to sign him, it will be through official channels. We respect Al Ahly, they are a great team.”
There has also been talk that Chiefs have submitted offers for Pyramids striker Fiston Mayele, who played under Nabi at Young Africans SC but the coach again stated there is no truth in those reports.
“It’s the same situation with Fiston Mayele,” he added.
“He’s like family to me; we worked well together [at Young Africans]. But he has a contract with Pyramids, and he’s not available.
“We respect that and have not engaged in any negotiations.”
