Ahly's newly signed Nigerian forward Junior Ajayi will join the team's preparatory camp on 6 September one day after its start as he could find no scheduled flight to fly him in on time. The Cairo giants Ahly have signed a four-year contract with Ajayi, who recently finished participation in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, for $2 million from Tunisian side CS Sfaxien. The 20-year-old Ajayi is expected to beef up Ahly's attacking department following the departure of Evouna, who bagged 12 league goals in his side's triumphant campaign last season. Meanwhile, Ahly is to start the new season preparatory camp on 5 September for 10 days, but is yet to decide on whether it will be held in Cairo or a coastal city, Ahly football director Sayed Abdel-Hafiz announced on Monday. Under the helm of newly signed coach Hossam El-Badry, Ahly will start preparations for the new season competitions to return the team to winning ways after losing the Egypt Cup before leaving the CAF Champions League from the group stage.
