Tau's move will see him reunite with his former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane.
TimesLIVE reported that Mosimane promised to give Tau game time and return him to the form that saw the nimble-footed star move from Mamelodi Sundowns to Brighton on a four-year contract in 2018.
On social media, many fans shared their views on the move, flooding Al Ahly's Twitter page with hilarious memes and comments. Here are some of our faves:

Percy Tau once played as 1 man when all his teammates were red carded by the 60th min. The other team was leading 2:0 but the boy fought & his team won the game 2:3.
