Percy Tau – $220k

Percy Tau has had to endure serious criticism of late, since his move to play soccer for Al Ahly is seen as a ‘downgrade’, given he was playing for the English Premier side, Brighton. What was his reasoning behind it?

He was not getting enough game time. Of course, this would mean he will calcify as a player for the national side. The promise of playing for the Egyptian giants on a three-year deal means he will spend more time on the field than on the bench, especially since Pitso Mosimane, his former coach, leads Al Ahly.
