Meteb arrived in Belgium on Tuesday and by passing the medical, he is officially a Standard player.

He will be given the number 10 jersey, which he is used to wearing with Egypt, at Standard.

The international striker signed for Standard on a two-year contract as he became the fourth Egyptian to play in the Belgian League.

He follows into the footsteps of Mido, Tarek Al-Saied and Ahmed Hassan.

Egyptian-owned club Lierse were promoted to the first division in Belgium this season and they have several Egyptian players.
