Etoile Sportive du Sahel's fullback Hamdi Nagguez is on the verge of joining Cairo giants Zamalek, the player's agent Shadi El-Hadi said on Tuesday. "Zamalek opened talks with Nagguez two days ago and I think that the player is close to joining them," El-Hadi told a TV program on Tuesday. "Etoile's management has no problem selling the player." Reports in Tunisia and Egypt suggested that Zamalek have shown interest in the 25-year-old Nagguez is a key player for Etoile and the Tunisian national team, having earned 15 international caps so far. Zamalek are looking to strengthen the right-back position as their squad includes only Hazem Emam on that flank.
