More clubs joined the race to sign Amr Zaki. Reports
claimed that Valencia and Spurs are the latest clubs
interested in the 25 year old Wigan forward. In addition
to this, Wigan officials admitted that Zaki will be
hard to keep next season.
Amr Zaki interest is increasing despite
his inability to score in the last couple of matches
and after missing the Newcastle game due to injury.
The player received interested from Liverpool
and Manchester City but reports claimed that City want
to sign the player in the January transfer window, a
thing that Wigan might not accept as they want to keep
the player untill summer. Such dilemma could end up
with City switching interest to Valencia star David
Villa.
In this case, Valencia will have to find
a replacement and according to Football Latest, Zaki
is one of the players that they see as the right replacement
for Villa.
In addition to this, Spanish giants Real Madrid started shortlisting
players as a possible replacement for Ruud Van Nestelrooy
who suffered a long term injury. Reports suggested that the
Spanish giants have Zaki on their shortlist as well with a
few other names including Benzema, Vagnor Love and Adebayor.
It should be noted that Zaki can leave Wigan
in Winter if the club paid £3 million pounds to Wigan
plus Zamalek's asking price for the player. The player's price
tag is thought to be around £10 million.
