Blackburn Snap Up The "Egyptian Beckham"

It was reported just days ago that Blackburn Rovers were interested in signing the Egyptian international Ahmed Al-Muhammadi, from the Engineering for the Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) in the Egyptian Premier League.

The British tabloid, the Daily Mirror, reported that the English outfit were prepared to offer around £1.5 million to acquire the player’s services, which would not be a bad investment, considering the fact that he is known as his country’s very own David Beckham.

According to the latest reports coming from Sportsmediaset, the Riversiders have taken the next step however, as they have made an offer to the player in person.

The details of the offer are yet to be officially released, however the 21-year-old winger has confirmed that he is ready to accept the offer made by the English club, which would thus allow him to follow in the footsteps of those such as Amr Zaki and Mido, who currently play for Wigan in the same competition.

The Beckham of Egypt has managed to make 20 appearances for the Egyptian national team over time, and as a result, he may prove to be the key to avoiding relegation for the club that finished in seventh place last term.
