Briefly News previously reported that it's been quite an interesting road for Percy Tau at Brighton & Hove Albion. What was supposed to be a South African player enjoying his time playing in the Premier League quickly turned into something not so appealing to Mzansi.
When Percy Tau first went to England, Mzansi was buzzing because of the amazing achievement. However, Tau was sent on loan a few times and only played for Brighton every now and again which frustrated them.
Now that Percy Tau's deal to join Al Ahly is done, social media users are unfollowing Brighton & Hove Albion on social media. Many feel that Tau was hard done by and they will not be keeping up with the English club any more.
