Anderson is currently undergoing a medical at the White Knights and the 27-year-old is confident he will do great in case he joins the Cairo club.

"I ask Zamalek fans to wait for me as one of the club's future stars," Anderson told Al-Hayat TV.

The forward, who currently plays for Rio Branco in the Brazilian third division, added that he has a very good impression about Egyptian football.

"Egypt were crowned African champions twice in a row in 2006 and 2008. The country have many great players and a brilliant national coach.

"I became sure of how good they are after watching them play against Brazil and Italy and the FIFA Confederations Cup," he stressed.

Anderson joined Rio Branco in the summer of 2008, having finished last season as his team's top scorer with 22 goals.

He also played for Japanese clubs Mito Hollyhock, Sagan Tosu, Shimizu S-Pulse and Yokohama F.C.

He will be the second expatriate to join Zamalek in the close season after Ghanaian midfielder Ibrahim Ayew, who moved to the Cairo club from homeland side Eleven Wise on a five-year deal.
