Bafana Bafana attacker Percy Tau has officially completed a season-long loan move to Anderlecht from Brighton & Hove Albion. The club confirmed Tau’s arrival on Wednesday morning after weeks of speculation they were interested in the former Mamelodi Sundowns star.
The South African International will spend a third successive season in Belgium after signing the dotted lines for the 34-times Belgian Champion.
Speaking to the club’s website after putting pen to paper, Tau said Anderlecht’s style of play suits his style of play and he has vowed to contribute positively to the club’s success during his loan stint.
“I am part of a team that always wants to play good and attacking football. That suits me perfectly. RSCA plays my style of football. We are made for each other. I will do everything I can to contribute to this team and guide the club back to where it belongs: to the top of Belgian football,” said the Witbank-born attacker.
Tau first secured a move in August 2018 to Belgium’s second division with Royale Union Saint Gilloise where he was crowned the club’s Player of the Year. As well as being crowned the Proximus League’s Player of the Season with 11 goals and 13 assists.
A move to Belgium’s first division followed in July 2019 with a transfer to Club Brugge where Tau came up against the likes of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
