Percy Tau is close to agreeing on a staggering move to Belgian side Anderlecht.

The former Club Brugge player recently announced his departure from the current Belgian Jupiler league champions and is now set to remain another season in Belgian top-flight football as he looks for a switch from Club Brugge to arch-rivals Anderlecht.

Tau, a Brighton and Hove Albion player, is about to spend a third season on loan in Belgium as he looks to further his development as a player. He also received great support from Bafana Bafana coach Molefe Ntseke, who expressed his delight in the decision taken by one of our country’s finest exports.

In situations like these, we are more worried about him playing regularly, enjoying his football, and at the same time giving respect to his career,” Ntseke said when speaking to TimesLive.

He further said that He hopes that things will turn out very positively for him wherever he goes‚ whether it is playing in the UEFA Champions League again with Anderlecht if ever that is where he is going.

Anderlecht is reportedly in the final stages of negotiating the South African international’s imminent move as the Vincent Kompany led side look to bolster their attacking options.

According to Kick.com, Anderlecht is reportedly interested in Tau’s services due to his ability to play across the front line, and see him as a value-for-money signing when compared to the club’s errors in the transfer window last season.
