Liverpool old boy Ejaria on the verge of transfer to Zamalek

Ejaria has been given an opportunity to showcase his skills in the Egyptian first division through a trial, with the potential for a permanent contract on the horizon.

Egyptian giants Zamalek have offered him the temporary deal to show if he is good enough to stay at the club.

Based at Giza, home to Egypt's legendary pyramids, Zamalek are one of Africa’s most successful teams.

Zamalek spokesman Ahmed Salem said: "Some have claimed that we have officially signed ex-Liverpool player Ovie Ejaria.

"But the truth is that the player has been offered to us, and the decision has not been finalised yet.

"The file for negotiations with new players and reinforcements is ongoing, and it will remain open until the last moment.

"There are negotiations in more than one direction, and we still have time until the registration window closes."
