Bafana Bafana international Percy Tau has completed a season-long loan move to Anderlecht from Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Jupiler Pro League giants confirmed Tau’s arrival on Wednesday on a season-long loan deal for the 2020-21 season, extending his stay in Belgium for a third consecutive season.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns star enjoyed spells with Royale Union Saint-Gillioise and Club Brugge over the past two years in Belgium.
Anderlecht sporting director Peter Verbeke is satisfied with the arrival of Tau, but insists that he will need time to settle in at the 34-time champions.
‘Percy is a player who already knows our capital and the league,’ Verbeke told the club’s website.
‘He is a creative, technically strong, fast and agile player; he can play in various attacking positions.
‘In addition, he has already demonstrated that he can be efficient and decisive. Due to a lack of preparation, we just have to give him some time to be important for us, but we are of course happy with his added value to our squad,’ he concluded.
