The 19-year-old has been linked with Anderlecht, Dortmund and most recently Freiburg, but has eventually made a dramatic switch to the relegated Furth.

“I will travel to Germany on Thursday to finalize the deal with Furth. It is a one-year loan transfer,” the ENPPI youngster, who is currently with the U-20 squad in Spain, told FilGoal.com.

“I made this choice because Furth will give the opportunity to play regular football.

“I think this will help me adapt to European football in a better way and without being under pressure.

“I am not in a hurry to play for a big club. I don’t want to repeat unsuccessful experiences of many Egyptian players in the past.”
