Tau's absence from Brighton & Hove Albion squad fuels Al Ahly rumours

There have been reports suggesting the ex-Mamelodi Sundowns star is set to be reunited with his former coach Pitso Mosimane in Egypt

Brighton and Hove Albion manager Graham Potter says Percy Tau missed their final pre-season friendly game against Getafe due to “personal reasons” as rumours that the Bafana Bafana star is about to join Al Ahly gain momentum.

A week after an impressive friendly match outing against Luton Town which he capped with a sensational goal, Tau was expected to feature against Gefate and further plead his case that he deserves more game time.

But he was absent from Potter’s 23-man squad on Saturday on the backdrop of days of him being heavily linked with a move to Al Ahly.
