The player confirmed in a telephone call with Sport Today that in the next few hours, he will be in Cairo to sign a contract with Egyptian club Zamalek. The transfer will be completed during the January transfer window.

El Saka, 34, started his football at Al-Mansoura before moving to Turkey where he has played for a number of clubs.

He will be the third player to join Zamalek from abroad after, as EP reported, Ahmed Ghanem, formerly of Antrabeko (Uzbekistan) and Shikabala of PAOK joined the Cairo club, despite the rejection of the Greeks in Shika's case. However, Zamalek have confirmed that Shikabala will arrive fairly.
