Tau Recalled At Brighton, Reaction From His Manager

English Premier League side Brighton have recalled striker Percy Tau from his loan spell with Belgian club Anderlecht.

The 26-year-old South Africa international joined the club in 2018 and has spent the last two-and-a-half years on loan in Belgium.

Tau signed with Anderlecht, who are managed by former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany, last August and has scored four goals in 15 games this season.

The Lion King’s manager at Brighton, Graham Potter told Sky Sports;

“We’re pleased to be able to welcome Percy to the club and begin working with him. I know he’s a player whose progress many of our fans have followed in recent seasons.

“We too have closely monitored his performances in Belgium in the last three years. He’s been playing at a really good level, particularly with Bruges and Anderlecht where he has been involved in the Champions League, and his next step is to show he is ready to make the transition into the Premier League.

“He brings some different attributes and qualities to the group and he wants to take the next step in his career. We’re looking forward to working with him.”

We understand Tau trained with the club this morning and is available for the game against Newport in the FA Cup on Sunday.
