Johannesburg – South African striker Percy Tau has agreed a permanent move to Egyptian club Al Ahly on undisclosed terms, Brighton & Hove Albion announced on its official website.
The transfer will be formally concluded once the transfer window reopens in Egypt and is also subject to international clearance.
The South Africa international made six appearances for Albion and made his debut in the FA Cup tie against Newport County in January.
The 27-year-old international joined Albion in 2018 and had successful loan spells with three Belgian clubs – Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, Club Brugge and Anderlecht – before returning to the club in January.
