Al Ahly have moved quickly to strengthen their left-back position after suffering a major setback with Moroccan defender Youssef Belamri diagnosed with an ACL injury.

The Egyptian giants have completed the signing of Tawfik Mohamed from Petrojet, following intensive negotiations between the two clubs and an agreement over the details of the transfer.

The move comes as Al Ahly look to compensate for Belamri’s expected absence and maintain sufficient options at left-back.

A Deal Completed in Record Time

Tawfik Mohamed had previously been on Al Ahly’s radar during earlier transfer windows, although those talks did not result in a final agreement.

Belamri’s injury changed the situation, bringing the Petrojet defender back into the spotlight as Al Ahly quickly reopened negotiations.
