English & Scottish Interest in Shaaban

Date: 22-7-2005
Wrote: EP's reporter Ibrahim Azab

Half Egyptian shot stopper Rami Shaaban continued his search for a new club. Two sides expressed their desire to land Shaaban so far, one from England and one from Scotland.


Half Egyptian goalkeeper Rami Sahaaban is currently a free agent after his contract with Brighton and Hove Albion expired in June.

Rami spent a week on trial at the English Championship side Sheffield United, and the goalkeeping coach said he was in good shape.

"They were pleased and they want me". Shaaban told Expressin

"The coach said that I want you, but that he has to sell some players before he can buy me." Rami added.

So, there is an interest from Sheffield United but they won't sign Rami unless they sell some players to free up some space in the squad.


On the other side, the Scottish side Dundee United offered the goalkeeper a trial. Dundee are looking for a new goalkeeper after they lost the services of Nick Colgan and Tony Bullock over the summer.

United boss Gordon Chisholm is set to keep an eye over Shaaban in training before deciding whether or not to offer him contract.

Shaaban is likely to feature for United this weekend in the Discovery Cup and if he impresses he could win a move to the Scottish Premier League outfit.
