The 23-year-old, who joined the White Knights from Mansoura last summer, has been playing regularly since current coach Hossam Hassan took the helm last year.

Salah is now eager to score his maiden goal with Zamalek in their anticipated match with their arch-rivals.

"I hope I can score my first goal with Zamalek in the upcoming game against Ahli," he told his club's official site.

"We aim to win the Egyptian Cup, so we will try to win every game we play.

"Everybody can't wait for the match and we are ready for it."
