South African winger Percy Tau will join Belgian outfit Anderlecht on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion next season according to reports.
The reports have indicated that Tau will be there on a season-long loan without a purchase option. He will battle it out for the left wing spot with the highly rated 18-year-old Jeremy Doku.
“As announced‚ Percy Tau will play for Anderlecht next season. That loans him for one season without a purchase option from the English Brighton & Hove Albion‚” the report in Gazet van Antwerpen stated.
“ ... By the way‚ Tau already has a serious past in Belgium. First he was loaned to Union in 1B by his employer. He made such an impression that season‚ including in a cup match at Anderlecht‚ that Club Brugge saw something in him.
“The South African made a great start last year‚ and captured a lot of supporters’ hearts‚ but completely disappeared afterwards. The people of Bruges therefore decided not to continue with the flank attacker.
“Anderlecht still see value in Tau. He has to compete on the flank with Jeremy Doku. With his attractive playing style‚ Anderlecht hopes that Tau can quickly conquer the hearts of the purple and white fans.”
Tau starred for South Africa in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
