It seems that attacking midfielder Percy Tau is on the verge of a transfer move away from the Premier League. The Bafana Bafana international is about to join Egypitan Al Ahly and reunite with coach Pitso Mosimane, and we can thank his unofficial PR, Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwen for breaking the news.🚨Percy Tau Update🚨Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena on Percy Tau’s imminent move to Al Ahly. pic.twitter.com/aqDvX5YRCK— Mahlatse Mphahlele (@BraMahlatse) August 26, 2021 Mokwen has a special bond with the player, as he trained him in Mamelodi during his youth years, and the pair developed a ‘father-son’ relationship, so the coach was able to bring the news to the world, when he appeared on social media on Thursday morning.“I have my opinion on the matter, I am privileged that I have first-hand access to Percy Tau and I am humbled that before making the decision he did give me a call about two or three weeks ago. Percy knows my opinion on this matter and our discussion was an emotional, two-hour conversation between father and son. I know Percy’s feelings about where his career is and what he would like to do. There are things that are said because there is mutual affection and trust, and Percy has my support regardless of whatever decision he makes and he knows that” said Mokwen.(2.50) EL GEISH (3.20) EL MASRY CLUB (2.70)It is believed that the main reason for Tau’s departure from Brighton is the lack of playing time, and the player wants to assure that he will be called by South Africa manager Hugo Broos. Bafana Bafana coach indeed mentioned Tau when he announced his squad for next month’s 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Zimbabwe and Ghana, and expressed his concerns regarding the player’s lack of minutes in Brighton Howe and Albion. “He’s an important player for Bafana Bafana and if Percy will not play next month, I have a problem. But I heard some good news, I think he will not stay at Brighton and will go to an Egyptian team with SA coach Pitso Mosimane, Al Ahly” said Broos. Percy Tau signed for Brighton and Howe Albion in 2018, but failed to make a stronger presence. In fact, he spent his Premier League career on loans in Belgium, where he played for Union SG, Club Brugge, and Anderlecht. He recorded only six games for Brighton, scoring one goal.
