Anderlecht coach Vincent Kompany is resigning himself to losing Percy Tau in January.

On a season-long loan from Brighton, the South Africa international has established himself as a first-choice under Kompany this season.

"Percy's presence makes a difference," declared the Anderlecht boss yesterday.

However, there's now concern inside Anderlecht that they'll lose Tau next month.

Changes to the UK work permit laws thanks to Brexit is set to see Tau clinch a successful application.

And if everything goes to plan, Brighton intend to recall the in-form striker to help boost their chances against relegation over the second-half of the season, reports HLN.
