Egyptian giants Ahli confirm interest in striker Samuel Afum

Posted On Friday, 8th June 2012

Samuel Affum is closing in on a move to Al Alhi

Al Ahli coach Hossam Al-Badri is hopeful the club reach an agreement with FC Smouha to sign Ghana striker Samuel Afum before the club starts their pre-season campaign.

The 23-year-old former Accra Hearts of Oak striker has been on the radar of the five time African champions.

FC Smouha coach Shawki Gharib said on Friday that the striker would only be allowed to join Ahli for a fee of $2 million.

But the Cairo-based side have reportedly made an initial offer of $1.1 million and coach Hossam Al-Badri says he hopes the two clubs reach an agreement before their pre-season programme begins.

“I think it is better to focus on signing an African striker who has experience in the Egyptian league and Samuel Afum is the closest. I hope we reach an agreement on signing Afum before the pre-season begins.” He told Filgoal.com.

Afum netted seven times for FC Smouha before the cancellation of the Egyptian league season.

Yes Affum has really improved as a striker, damn you need to watch him play. He has pace, skill and technique. Has the ability to take on his markers with ease and can score some breathtaking GOALS as well. He was in devastating form before the cancellation of the Egyptian league season where he scored 7 times in 8 games, they call him the JET in Egypt due to his enormous pace and skill. Kudos Sammy, keep on making your former club H.O.O proud we love you boy.
