CAIRO: Gaish coach Farouk Gaafar confirmed that the club completed the transfer of defender Mohsen Hendawi from Ghazl Mahalla. I convinced Hendawi to join Gaish starting from January, Gaafar told FilGoal.com Hendawi s got brilliant technical and physical abilities. He will be a great addition to our squad. The 27-year-old full back was targeted by both Ahly and Zamalek last summer, before Mahalla refused to allow him to leave the club. Hendawi s strong performances last season earned him several Egypt call-ups during the World Cup qualification preliminary stages. Meanwhile, Gaafar added that he is on the verge of concluding a deal bringing Zamalek striker Abdel-Halim Ali to the club. Gaish are 13th in the league table on 14 points from 13 games.
