Spanish Liga side Espanyol have enquired about the services of beleaguered Zamalek star Shikabala, board member Ibrahim Youssef revealed.

“There is a loan offer from Espanyol. We will consider it and see what happens,” Youssef said.

Shikabala has been under fire since his infamous row with coach Hassan Shehata in the team’s last game against Maghreb Fes.

The 26-year-old’s future remains uncertain as Shehata is not willing to keep him on board for next season.

He has been left out of Egypt’s squad for the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Mozambique, with manager Bob Bradley implying that Shika’s recent Zamalek unrest was a factor behind the omission.
