Essam Salem, the official spokesman for Zamalek club, revealed that it is close to including a striker at the highest level, even as Mustafa Mohamed continues in the team.
Zamalek defeated El-Gouna with a goal without a response in the eighth round matches to take the lead in the league competition.
Salem said via On Time Sports 2: “Zamalek is striving to end negotiations with a foreign striker at the highest level and is close to completing the contract, even as Mustafa Mohamed continues.”
He revealed, “Jaime Pacheco has 3 attackers in front of him, one of them chooses a Portuguese, who has previously played for the Olympic team and played for Sporting Lisbon, which is the closest.”
And he continued, “The other is Italian of Egyptian origin and the third is Cameroonian.”
On the top of the league, he said: “Last season, Zamalek lost 8 points in the first eight games, and Al-Ahly won the full score, as the competition was ending from the start.”
“This season is completely different and we have made the best start in years,” he stressed.
As for replacing Ashraf with Sharqi, he explained, “He was angry at himself only because of the missed opportunities, and of course he wanted to continue a little to score a goal.”
He continued, “Bencharki is an excellent player and has great popularity with the Zamalek fans, so he always strives to be on good faith.”
He concluded his remarks, “The return of Mustafa Mohamed and Sassi is a big plus. I think that the conditions are better for Pacheco now and in the face of Aswan, he will have solutions.”
