The prestigious football statistics platform Transfermarkt recently published a photo confirming Percy Tau’s transfer to Thep Xanh Nam Dinh FC.
The V.League transfer market drew significant attention when Nam Dinh announced the successful signing of South African striker Percy Tau, a former Brighton player in the Premier League. This news not only stirred local excitement but was also verified and posted by the leading global football database, Transfermarkt, on its official fanpage.
In a post featuring the prominent “Done Deal” banner, Transfermarkt introduced Percy Tau as Nam Dinh’s newest signing, providing key details: 31 years old, free transfer, market value of 1 million Euro, and preferred position as right winger. Having a V.League contract showcased on Transfermarkt’s homepage marks a major milestone in promoting Vietnamese football’s reputation on the international stage.
Percy Tau is a familiar name among football fans. The South African forward played for Brighton in the Premier League before joining clubs like Anderlecht (Belgium) and Al Ahly (Egypt). On the national team level, Tau has earned 52 caps for South Africa and scored 16 goals. With his extensive international experience, Tau is expected to bring fresh energy to Nam Dinh’s attack and elevate the V.League’s image.
Notably, Transfermarkt does not regularly feature Southeast Asian transfer news unless the deal is particularly significant or notable. The appearance of Percy Tau’s transfer on both their Instagram homepage and Facebook fanpage highlights the growing appeal of the V.League.
Percy Tau’s arrival in the home kit at Thien Truong Stadium is not only a sporting boost, but also opens up opportunities to promote the club and Vietnamese football internationally. A player with Premier League experience and a market value of 1 million Euro is sure to attract attention from regional media and football fans worldwide.
With Percy Tau joining, Nam Dinh not only strengthens its ambition to win the V.League title for a third consecutive time, but also helps establish the V.League as an attractive destination for stars who have competed in Europe.
