The 24-year-old joined Albion last month from Mamelodi Sundowns for an undisclosed fee, with the immediate plan for him to be loaned out by the club.

Brighton & Hove Albion have confirmed that South African attacker Percy Tau has officially joined Belgian second division side Royale Union Saint-Gilloiseon loan.

Brighton owner Tony Bloom is also a majority shareholder of Royale Union Saint-Gilloise with the apparent aim of Tau’s loan to help his new side to gain promotion to the Belgian top-flight.

“Percy is a talent we have brought to the club for the future, and this loan allows him to play regular senior football here in Europe,” the club said.

“It is a significant investment for us, and we will be closely watching his progress with Union and monitoring his development over the season.”

Brighton previously confirmed that the 24-year-old striker would be sent out on loan ahead of the new season after agreeing to a four-year deal.

“Going out on loan is always good to help a player develop and get better. It’s new for me to be in Europe, and I’ll get to work on myself and a few things that I need to improve.

“I’m hoping to get a better understanding of the game from playing there. It’s a different approach to what we’re used to in South Africa. It’s an exciting football.”

The striker was named the Absa Premiership Player and Player’s Player of the Year in 2017/18 and scored 13 goals for Mamelodi Sundowns, as they lifted the league title.
