“I am proud to see him do so well, I feel like he deserves to be in that space.

“He also has [Burnley manager] Vincent Kompany there with him and hopefully they will make a great relationship. I am proud of him and I just want to see him keep growing.”

Meanwhile, Bafana Bafana are set for two international friendlies against Namibia on Saturday and the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday.

Hugo Broos would be delighted as his strikers, Tau, Foster, Zakhele Lepasa, Lebogang Mothiba and Mihlali Mayambela are currently in great form.

Tau hopes it translates into good performances for the team as they prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in November and the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Ivory Coast in January.
