Tau set for Club Brugge loan – report

Percy Tau is on the verge of a loan move to top Belgian side Club Brugge, according to a report in Belgium.


Tau spent last season on loan at Union St Gilloise from English Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion, and won Player of the Season in the Belgian second tier.

Now he appears to have attracted the attention of Brugge, with Brighton willing to let the Bafana striker go on loan again – it is unlikely Tau would be able to play for Brighton anyway, because of the difficulty securing a work permit to play in England.

Het Nieuwsblad reported on Friday that talks were still going on between Brugge and Brighton over a deal, and that other clubs were interested, but added that sources close to Tau said a deal was almost done.
