The Masandawana mentor backs the 23-year-old superstar for a clean sweep at the Premier Soccer League end of the season awards, insisting that no one deserves the individual accolades more than Tau.
“Percy Tau is an unbelievable player,” said Mosimane after Tau’s eighth Absa Premiership goal salvaged a point for the Brazilians in the 1-1 Tshwane derby against crosstown rivals SuperSport United.
“I am waiting to see who is going to challenge Percy for Footballer-of-the-Season and Players’ Player… and I need the name now. There are eight games to go – who is challenging him,” Mosimane questioned.
“He is scoring goals and he is assisting. He must take everything, he deserves it. What a brave youngster. He just shows that talent alone is not enough, you must back talent,” the Bafana Bafana former coach added.
