Ahly coach Hossam El-Badry has announced the club is closing on to land Moroccan striker Walid Azaro who currently plays with Difaa El Jadida. "Azaro is most likely to be an Ahly player soon. He is an outstanding player. He is one of three Morocco-based players in his national team," the 57-year-old tactician stated to the club's TV channel on Tuesday. El-Badry needs to strengthen his frontline especially after the sudden departure of Souleymane Coulibaly and the serious injury of Marwan Mohsen. Azaro, 21, is also targeted by some French clubs, according to Moroccan reports.
