Brighton forward Percy Tau is closing in on a exit.

The Argus understands that a deal for the South African international is close to completing a move to Al Ahly.

Albion head coach Graham Potter said his pre-match press conference ahead of their win over Burnley that there was 'nothing new' to report regarding Tau but did confirm there was 'interest from overseas' and that he was 'available' for their trip to Turf Moor.

But the 27-year-old was not part of the Seagulls squad on Saturday in their 2-1 win over the Clarets with Potter confirming that he missed the game due to 'personal reasons'.

That was the term he had used when asked why Tau missed their defeat to Getafe at the Amex earlier this month.
