The source told FilGoal.com on condition of anonymity that Al-Saied penned the deal on Saturday but refused to reveal financial details.

Al-Saied's contract with Zamalek expires by the end of the season and he refused to extend with his side.

"Al-Saied is an excellent player and he will fill in the left flank, covering the absence of injured winger Gilberto and Mohamed Abdul-Wahab who is still doubtful for next season," the source said.

Angola's Gilberto still face a three-month layoff with an Achilles injury and Abdul-Wahab, on loan from UAE side Al-Zafra, is set to rejoin his side.

The 28-year-old winger was named Egyptian FA Footballer of the Year in 2000 and 2001. Al-Saied was crowned Egyptian League top-scorer in 2000-2001.

He had a short spell with Belgium giants Anderlecht in 2002 and earned 61 international caps for the Egyptian team.
