Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Hossam Ghaly is poised to join Saudi Arabia's Nasr this winter, media reports claimed. A good number of Saudi newspapers mentioned that the 27-year-old is going to start a new adventure in the Saudi League soon. Nasr's officials have reportedly worked out the details of the deal with their Hotspur counterparts, and the move will be sealed within a couple of days. Well-known paper Al-Watan reported that Ghaly is going to pen a six-month loan contract with the Saudi outfit for € one million and 600,000. It was also reported the Egyptian international has already accepted the offer, and he's expected to travel to the principality this week. Ghaly would be the third Egyptian footballer in the Saudi League if the deal went through. International striker Emad Meteb is playing for Ittihad Jeddah on a loan basis, while Petrojet has loaned out playmaker Walid Soliman to Ahli Jeddah on Monday. Undesirable
Redknapp couldn't play Ghaly in an FA encounter Ghaly joined Spurs from Feyenoord in 2006, and has been seeking a move away from the Premier League club nearly for two years. He has turned into an undesirable figure at White Hart Lane since his infamous shirt tantrum. The former Ahli man tossed his jersey away when his then coach Martin Jol substituted him in a Premier League match late in 06-07 season, whereupon his nightmare began. Afterwards, he had a brief loan spell at Derby County, but the were latter relegated to first division, and thus Ghaly opted to return to the London-based club. But his unfortunate status remained the same. Current manager Harry Redknapp tried to give the beleaguered midfielder a second chance, but seemingly Spurs' fans have never forgotten his misconduct. When Ghaly was set to come on as a substitute in the 3-1 home victory over Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup, his side's spectators heavily booed him, forcing Redknapp to keep him on bench.
