Ahli want to run the rule over Ismaili newly-signed goalie Nour Sabri during the January transfer widow, said the keeper's agent Mohamed Shiha. The Iraqi guardian was snapped up by the Dervishes weeks ago, and was due to join his new club by next year. "Ahli's officials contacted Sabri over a potential move," Shiha told FilGoal.com on Saturday. Ismaili currently have Iraqi striker Mostafa Karim and Guinean midfielder Samuel Johnson as foreigners in their first-team squad.
Upon signing Sabri, Nigerian player John Jambo and Mozambique's Dario Khan, the coastal club now have five non-Egyptian players at their disposal. The club board should decide soon whom they would include in the first-team roster. Rumor has it that Ismaili are going to give Karim, Johnson and Khan senior-team berths, and transfer-list Sabri and Jambo.
