Percy Tau with his Player of the Season award
Modiba says Tau’s latest achievement has inspired him to work harder so he can attract the attentions of a team from Europe.
The SuperSport United midfielder says he would not like to move from United to join another PSL side but rather move to Europe.
The 23-year-old has been a consistent performer for Matsatsantsa in the last two season and earned a call-up to the national team.
Modiba says 24-year-old Tau has inspired young players to go overseas and further their careers.
“I am happy for him. I was expecting that he would win the award because each time we see reports on how he is doing in Belgium we would hear that he scored or created a goal,” Modiba was quoted by Isolezwe. “He playing overseas encourages us as young players that played with him to work hard so we can go play there.
“I would like to see him playing in the top league in the world like the EPL where I know he will go.”
