Arsenal Eye The New Salah

Arsenal has joined the race for another winger, with the move for Mudryk has broken down and big teams are bidding up his value, so now they are looking to sign 21-year-old winger Ibrahim Adel from Egyptian side Pyramids FC. The report claims the Gunners are interested in landing the player for a cut-price fee. Adel is dubbed as the "new Mohamed Salah" as he plays wide on the left, but having watched him play I don't see how he breaks Martinelli's lock on the left, nor, even Nelson who hasn't even gotten a shot.

I think there are media comparisons, to try and gas this boy up and get him a move. If Arsenal does decide to add young talent to their squad it will probably be to go out on loan where he would need to prove himself on a higher level.

But Arsenal aren't alone in admiration for Adel though as Liverpool, Brentford, Brighton, and Nottingham Forest are all said to be eyeing a move after scouting him.

The Egyptian league isn't the hardest leageue in the world and transitioning to a top league isn't a step many can make, and I would rather these other teams take a risk on him instead. There are far better players in Europe now that can be picked up and you know what you're going to get.
