The former Mamelodi Sundowns striker has admitted, however, that the longer it takes for him to find a new club, the less options he'll have.
"There's still more from me, I feel I can still play and contribute to any club and I'm willing to listen to any proposals, we'll see where I end up choosing, but I'm willing to listen. I'm not gonna pre-judge," Tau said on 947's MSW.

"It's my first time in this position and I understand clubs may deal with this matter differently, some will wait, some will be quick. The longer it takes the less power I'll have. But we'll see. Most seasons start in August, so there's time. But I'm not used to this, I'm also rushing (to have a new team)," the former Al Ahly attacker added.
