Bekoe might be coupled with Agogo upfront

Asante Kotoko striker Eric Bekoe has arrived in Cairo on Friday in order to start negotiations with Zamalek's board over a potential deal.

A source close to the Ghanaian said the latter hasn't joined Zamalek yet, but he's set to seal the move in the near future.

"Bekoe is going to meet with the club's officials to work out all the details and reach an agreement," the source told FilGoal.com.

The 21-year-old was named the CAF Confederation Cup top scorer with a 10-goal tally, despite the disqualification of his outfit from the Group Stage.

Earlier this year, the up-and-coming hitman has been called up to Ghana national team.

He came on as a substitute in an exhibition against Mexico, before taking part in the Black Stars' 2010 World Cup qualifier against Gabon.

Expendable

With another Foreigner on the way, Zamalek would have to dispose of either Brazilian winger Ricardo Alves or Wissem Abdi.

Ricardo has already got back to training after serving an internal suspension, but the Tunisian defender is still banned, which indicates that Zamalek might get rid of him by January.

What's more, the negotiations with Bekoe raised questions on the future of forward Gamal Hamza, who’s also suspended as a disciplinary measure.

Kotoko is expected to form an effective strike partnership with his compatriot Junior Agoago, who joined the Cairo giants in the summer.
