Turkcell Super League's rooted club Ankaragucu (Ankara
Force) signed with Sherif Ekramy on a permanent deal
before some interested European and UAE clubs. Ekramy
had a succesful pre-season camp in Turkey with Feyenoord
and Ankaragucu scouts liked the performance of the Egyptian
in the goalless friendly versus Konyaspor.

Ankaragucu is the most popular club in
Ankara city which has four representatives, namely Ankaragucu,
Genclerbirligi (of El Saka), Ankaraspor and Hacettepe
(of Azmy). The club'll pass 100 years this year and
they want to show something good in the century celebration
seasons. Ankaragucu has the youngest manager of the
Turkcell Super League, Hakan Kutlu (36) who was the
famous captain of the club.
Ekramy was presented as the young and bright keeper
of Egyptian football's future to the fans. But the transfer
of the goalkeeper also surprised the fans, because Ankaragucu
has three keepers including national youth goalie Serkan
Kirintili who had some fatal errors last season. Serkan
Kirintili
also conceded three goals in the opening match of the
Super League versus Konyaspor. Ankaragucu lost 3-2 in
the away game. Second week'll be hard too, because the
club will face the flash team of the transfer season,
Ayman's former team Trabzonspor.
Sherif Ekramy is twenty five years old and transfered
to Feyenoord from Al Ahly after he showed his abilities
at twenty two. Ekramy could only play six official games
in three long Holland league seasons. 1,91 cm keeper
has four caps for Egypt, the club claimed. In fact,
he has only had one!

Officials of the club told press they negotiated everything
with player and club and Ekramy will come Ankara soon for
the official contract. Ekramy may pass the first match of
the league on the bench to adapt to the team. But last performance
of Serkan Kirintili may cause Ekramy an early start on Friday
evening versus Trabzonspor.
EP can confirm that the Egyptian and Ankaragucu negotiated
first and Ekramy forced his Dutch club to decrease the transfer
fee for a move to Turkey. Ekramy said, "Turkish football
has interest in Egypt and the people follow the clubs. I want
to have big success in my Turkey career.
"Egyptian player Ahmed Belal was an ex-Ankaragucu striker.
I talked with him and learned somethings about the club. I
want to be popular in Turkey as the leading characters of
Egyptian football, Ahmed Hassan and El Saka were. I hope that
the transfer will be good for me and my new club. I'll perform
at my best."
EP wishes Sherif success in Turkey.
