Tau makes Premier League debut against Manchester City

Brighton & Hove Albion forward Percy Tau has been given a chance to make his Premier League debut against Manchester City on Wednesday.

The South Africa star was yet to play in the English top-flight since his switch from Mamelodi Sundowns in 2018 because he had spent the last two-and-a-half years on loan in Belgium.

On Sunday, the 26-year-old was introduced as a second-half substitute as Brighton defeated League Two club Newport County on penalties in the FA Cup.

For the encounter at the Etihad Stadium, Tau joins Leandro Trossard and Alexis Mac Allister to complete the Seagulls' attacking force.
