Ghaly's loan deal from Tottenham to Derby County will now have to be approved by the government authorities as it appears that the Egyptian didn't play the required percentage of games for the Egyptian national team in order to be granted extention for his work permit.

However, these kind of issues and formalities are not expected to make the deal fall through and hopefully, the Egyptian will complete his move before the closure of the transfer window by the endof Juary.

It should also be noted that Ghaly will participate with Egypt in the ACN in Ghana 2008 and this should be enough for him to extend his work permit.
